You haven't actually tested how it works "as it is now", have you?

Well no..
Just a question. Let's say the HoH will be fixed in 3.02.
Now someone will gonna play with v3.01 on the server. Does this means that his heroes will be attacked by HoH or not?
Basically the server version is what matters in all cases if I understand correctly, so the player with 3.01 probably won't be attacked by the HoH. Anyways its wise to use the latest patch, since his battle replays -for example- can be messed up.

Perhaps there should be a command line switch to prevent others joining to a server with a different version.

Even in the worst case, (i.e. clients could use some changes to cheat in a way that bypasses cheat detection), everything that happens between turns (choosing correct random numbers, checking how many events happen, checking what events happen, checking whether or not Horrors eat people, etc) happens in the server. Server decides whether or not Hunter of Heroes attacks or not.
