The main UI coming live for a few seconds before the tutorial starts is confusing, especially since doing anything before the tutorial tells you to confuses it (and you) irretrievably.
I'd suggest if the tutorial's going to run there should be a "Tutorial loading..." until it's ready so newbies know to hang tight for a bit.

Somewhere the game should tell you what version you're running
