It is -- it jogs my memory.  This was fixed in r331 of the trunk:

fix parsing of include/excludes for old clients

The code in 2.5.1p3 used a value (qlist) *before* it set that value.
If I recall, the code only ever worked "accidentally" -- qlist
happened to be set to a valid value already in most common
configurations.

If you'd like to stick with 2.5.1p3, you can extract the diff from
subversion and apply it, but I'd recommend upgrading at this point.
