The last three Christmas Specials have all kicked off the next season. They might not be labeled as episode 0, but they are packaged with that season on the DVDs.
The problem comes with this Christmas' Special and the fact that Season 5 has been pushed out to 2010. It's not Season 4, it's not season 5. It's Doctor Who 2009, which is just specials. So they kept numbering them with the season 4 numbers.
The Christmas invasion was 2.X, Runaway Bride was 3.X, Voyage of the Damned was 4.X. But The Next Doctor can't be 5.X because season 5 was postponed. So they're calling it 4.14.
