No. Git is right in asking you to test that commit: you are ignoring branches and merges.
Example ========
Linus Tree Usb Tree
v2.6.33-rc2 | \ | | commit A (version is v2.6.33-rc2) | | commit B ( " ) v2.6.33 | commit C ( " ) | __/ | __/ | __/ |_/ X <--- MERGE
So the commit you are testing it's like "commit A": it was done before (in time) v2.6.33, on a kernel based on v2.6.33-rc2, but was merged in Linus' tree _after_ v2.3.33.
So this this behaviour is normal :)
