Apparently there's at least two versions of how Delgado becomes meltyface, and in one he regenerates first and in the other he just gets melted.

The original intention was definitely that he was the Delgado Master, trying desperately to cling to life because it was his last regeneration.

Yeah, I always took it that way. I only know that the other thing happened at all from the Tardis Data Core entry on The Master (in which I learned that his timeline is the sort of mess that Wookiepiedia would tie itself in knots to resolve, but here is just presented as "It could be either, we dunno").

I hope that the "BBC wants a new Tennant" is actually a ruse, and that they make the "new Tennant" the new companion and so we can get some interesting casting for the Doctor instead.

Nope. It's generally a deviation in their timestream rather than a stable loop (ie; someone's worked to grab them all at once like in Five Doctors), so the only one that'll remember it is the youngest one in the tangent because he's actually experiencing it new. The rest just kinda get their memories massaged back into normality without recalling the incident.

The youngest would be the one from earliest in the timeline ie War in Day or One in The Three or The Five. The latest guy is the oldest.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure oldest remembers is the standard way it works. The same events may be happening at two or three instances of their timeline, but none of it is retained until the oldest version present experiences it. War, nine, and ten all think they killed the time-lords because they don't remember saving them until Eleven does. And Eleven still thinks he's going to die in Trenzalore because he doesn't remember twelve helping save the day.

Oldest remembers what happens after the fact. The reason why Eleven doesn't remember as well was because the Curator was there.

Eleven does remember- they discuss that he saved Gallifrey in the next episode, as well as bringing up "captain grumpy". I like to think he remembered the Curator because the Curator was extremely circumspect about what he said to the point that he could plausibly have not actually been the Doctor at all.

I'd love to see the episode from the Master's perspective. He'd doing his evil scheme and gets an alert that something is going on on bridge. It's the Doctor's TARDIS! Out pops a dashing TimeLady with two gormless companions. Oh ho ho, the Doctor is a woman now! Nice dress. *starts thinking up jokes about how the Doctor has lost his balls* (He was on earth long enough for ball jokes to be funny.) Then when things get interesting out pops a second much more excitable TimeLord! Whaaa?

He pretty well says it. I think the Doctor makes a comment on it too. The Master was on his last regeneration, was mortally wounded, but through sheer hate and malice refused to die. So he became a living corpse.

I know he's on his last regeneration as Pratt/Beevers but as far as I can tell there's nothing that points to Delgado being the 13th Master too.

A worried pug.
They've never really been clear on the Master's incarnations;

You've got the child Master from Sound of Drums, then Delgado, and then everything after that is kind of a mess, and depends on what you read or listen to.

Big Finish goes; Beevers/Pratt Master (meant to be the same incarnation, and seperate from Delgado before getting cripsy), Ainley Master, back to Beever (due to poo poo in Dust Breeding - but only because Ainley didn't return to the role), everyone's favourite, Hissy, then the Tipple Master in the Movie prologue (who may or may not meant to be the Ainley Master, or someone else), then the very nicely drezzed Eric Roberts, then back to body-hopping Hissy possessing people for a 100 years or so, then gaining a new set of regenerations as Macqueen Master, then Yana, Simm and Missy.

Makes perfect sense, in so far as anything contradictory makes sense in Doctor Who :v:

Here's my hot take:

So if Pratt/Beevers was the last incarnation of The Master's original regeneration cycle, no matter who he was before (Delgado or not), that would be The 13th Master.

When he took over Tremas' body, if we count that as a regeneration, that would be the 14th Master. That's debatable since it wasn't a proper regeneration. In theory it's the same guy possessing a new body.

One thing you have to decide is if you assume the Master from the TV movie who was executed by the Daleks is the Ainley/Tremas Master. I say yes, because his eyes were kinda cat eyes, which would jive with how we last saw him, possessed by the Cat People (Putting Out Fire) from Survival. Next you have to decide if CGI Snake counts. Personally I don't since that was more an elemental form.

The Eric Roberts body was another possession. So if you only count Gallifreyan bodies, this is still the 13th Master. If you count personalities, Ainley would be 14, Roberts 15.

Professor Yana we now know is the War Master, and had that body during the Time War, before he was Yana. We know he was resurrected by the Time Lords, and given a new cycle of regenerations. But according to Big Finish, there was at least one other War Master, Alex McQueen's who would be the 16th Master, then Jacobi is the 17th Master. Or 15th if you are a Gallifreyan purist.

We did see him regenerate into Simm, in the Master's only on screen regeneration. So Simm is 18/16. But Simm died, refused to regenerate, and was resurrected from his ashes via ceremony. So you could have 2 Simm Masters, same way Tennant was technically Doctors 10 and 11 (or really 11 and 12). So Super Sayan Simm is 19/17--if you count that as a proper regeneration. Though with no orange light, you might not.

If Missy is the next Master, and we have no idea if she is or not (yet at least), that would make her the 20th Master. Or she could be as low as the 17th Master, if you only count strict Gallifreyan regenerations.
