Are you able to confirm this flaw on rsync-3.1.0-2.fc20?

This 'fix' has apparently somehow broken live installation:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1101557

and someone's seeing the same problem just doing a local rsync:

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2014-05-30 15:30:33 UTC
thanks a lot. so, should we open a new upstream bug? I added a comment to the existing one, but sometimes comments on closed bugs don't get noticed :/ I'd imagine this would be important to upstream for their 3.1.1 release...

Comment 9 Account closed by the user 2014-05-31 11:43:01 UTC
This bug still is present in rsync-3.1.0-5.fc20.x86_64

Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2014-05-31 20:01:06 UTC
That is expected. We reverted the fix for this bug because it was causing other problems. We need to find a way to fix this which does *not* cause the problems reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1101557 .
