None of these are safe to use, except the latest in the 2.0 or 2.2 series, which are both actively maintained.

The 2.3 branch has recently gotten a security fix, which I assume does not apply to 2.2.3, but now, the plugin is telling me that there's a new version available with security fixes and that I should upgrade, all in blinking red letters. Any way that the plugin can distinguish between security fixes that I need (i.e., if I had 2.3.x < 2.3.3) and those that I don't (i.e., since I have 2.2.3 installed)? Thanks...

I was under the impression that the webservice was running on wordpress.org, but after looking at the code I've seen it's actually running on your server. Doesn't wordpress.org offer such service? (that would get automatically updated) Ok, it works now.
