There's no problem from my point of view of providing a git version of 
kphotoalbum (especially if it's fixing some compilations problem).
Regarding the version the end user in fact will look for the « last » 
version aka 4.1.1 and will only notice that mageia is providing the 
version 0, since the next release of  kphotoalbum  will be > 4.1.1 , i  
think you can use safely 4.1.1 for the version number in the spec.
It also reflect the fact that current git is based against the 4.1.1 even 
if currently the « about version » mentionned that kphotoalbum is git 
based.
