If I were you, I would pass in the old value as a parameter to the cloud function so that you can access it under request.params.(name of parameter). I don't believe that there is another way to get the old value. An old SO question said that you can use .get(), but you're claiming that that is not working. Unless you actually already had 9999 in the version...

edit - I guess beforeSave isn't called like a normal function... so create an "update version" function that passes in the current Task and the version you're trying to update to, perhaps?
