FWIW, the default for the ib_timeout is 20 in both v1.4.x and v1.5.x.

As Ralph said, ompi_info will show the current value -- not the default value.  
Of course, the current value will be the default value, unless it has been 
overridden.  In OMPI v1.5, ompi_info should indicate where the value came from:

-----
% ompi_info --param btl openib | grep ib_timeout
                 MCA btl: parameter "btl_openib_ib_timeout" (current value: 
<20>, data source: default value)
[snip]
% setenv OMPI_MCA_btl_openib_ib_timeout 13
% ompi_info --param btl openib | grep ib_timeout
                 MCA btl: parameter "btl_openib_ib_timeout" (current value: 
<13>, data source: environment or cmdline)
