I think that if you look through your log you will see:
warning(_g("the series file (%s) contains unsupported " .
"options ('%s', line %s), dpkg-source might " .
"fail when applying patches."),
$file, $2, $.) if $opts{"warn_options"};
You only spotted the failure but the warning is more explicit and should be
there too.
If you don't see it during "dpkg-source -b" then it's probably a bug.
