Summary
When a tag has been made, but the package has not yet landed on PyPI, the QPY job fails in the environment-building step. This is not actually a failure of the QPY backwards-compatibility guarantees, and it isn't the job of the QPY tests to detect a bad tag anyway.
Details and comments
Since this commit is an acknowledgement that not every tag might be a valid version, and my editor was complaining about the safety of the various script calls, I made the variable expansion safe against word splitting, just in case.
