Even if no one is running that beta, all of its bugs are potentially still in the next version, but may well manifest themselves differently, so sample data and steps-to-reproduce and especially crash reports have to be applied against the version they were reported with.
If you’re giving your testers betas that are expiring by the time they’re sending you reports, you’ve got the expiration date set *way* too early. By the time a beta expires, you should have sent them a newer build long ago.
