Got it.

It's a bug and I just checked in a fix to CVS.

Also, I fixed a couple of other rsync bugs and there is a new
File::RsyncP version 0.30 on SourceForge.  If you download the
latest BackupPC CVS it will insist you use File::RsyncP 0.30.

No, no plans for rsync compression.  If you want to submit the changes
I'm happy to merge it.  But in the meantime ssh compression is the
best choice.

By the way, the latest rsync 2.5.6 includes an optional patch from me
that significantly improves performance, especially on cygwin/WinXX.
