Here the version ID is 7.1; different to CentOS.
Is this a bug or is it deliberate?

It's deliberate.
Apparently the CentOS board went ahead and made major changes, different from RedHat, to the release names for CentOS 7 based on a thread in centos-devel.
I find no solicitations for feedback on this list, or the centos-announce list. (If I've missed one, let me know!)
It's a decision I disagree with vehemently, and would have happily made my objections known had I heard. As a "customer" of CentOS, I do not participate in the centos-devel list. Obviously considering the messages cropping up on this list today, I am not alone.
