Should the version number here match the core WordPress version? #2

It seems like in order to really be useful, the version of "johnpbloch/wordpress-core-installer" you specify should be equal to the WordPress version you want to install.

How so? I had imagined the major version indicating changes in how WordPress allows you to install core. Since the custom installer only needs to change when WordPress changes its supported install profiles (e.g. if core ever added support for putting WP core outside the doc root, I guess?), it makes more sense to me that the version could stay the same from version to version of core as long as its use remained the same.

Also, a better place to discuss the versions for a core installer would probably by the add composer support ticket on trac, since this repository was built more as a proof-of-concept than a patch for core.
