Is it really the same binary? It rather looks like it is rsync-hfs, AKA 
rsyncX. I wouldn't it put past the authors of that package that they 
didn't change the version information. In the older days they even 
replaced /usr/bin/rsync physically with their own incompatible binary. 
Or, horrible suspicion, maybe they still do?

On 10.2.8, I get from /usr/bin/rsync --version:

rsync  version 2.5.2  protocol version 26

and on 10.3.1:

rsync  version 2.5.6  protocol version 26

Just shoot those guys! (Lesson to be learned: Be very careful about what 
you install in /usr/local, and if a package wants to install anything in 
/usr/bin, avoid it like the plague).
