I uploaded a build using the Xcode beta, forgetting that you can't submit builds compiled with beta versions. So I updated to the release version of Xcode via the App Store.

With the Xcode beta, App Store Connect was accurately reflecting the build number (4.8.1). Now with the release version, Connect shows a build number of 5. I tried incrementing in Xcode to 4.8.2, and now Connect showed a build number of 6.

Has this happened to anyone else?

It's not a bug, it's a (new) feature.

Your build number must increment on every new build. A lot of people, including you, don't know that. So now, during the build submission, your build number is validated, and it is automatically incremented if necessary.

So that's what happened: your build number was corrected to 5; then you tried to lower it, which is illegal, and submitted again, and it was corrected to 6, which is right.

Note that the build number should be just a number, not a dotted version string.

Also, you can reset the build number to 1 if you up the user facing version string.
