A .cdrdao file written with 1.1.9 under Debian does not read correctly with 1.2.2, because the value of cddb_server_list contains spaces.
Looking at the source code, the problem is that SettingsImpl::parseAndSetValue is aware of string values while SettingsImpl::read is not, chopping the value after the first space *inside* the string, because it ignores the double quotes (") starting the string.
The resulting error message is:
Error in string constant '"freedb.freedb.org'
