This was caused by patch 7.3.235
(http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/msg/9e771327865fe9b6)

I guess it will be included sometimes in version7.txt when 7.4 is
released or in version8.txt if the next major release of vim will be
version 8.0

Thanks for the clarification. This patch makes me happy!
