On a second thought, though, I think I misinterpreted your mail and I  wrongly thought you were referring only to the APIchanges file. 

The thing is that libx264 expects a boolean value (b_mb_info) to be set to check the mb_info. 
So, yes, in principle I'd agree with you but I think we still need to tell it in advance by setting the option because the encoder needs to track additional statistics.

From x264.h:
        int          b_mb_info;            /* Use input mb_info data in x264_picture_t */
and then subsequent uses both in frame.h and analyse.c check for the flag to be set.

Further on, this flag doesn't seem to be updated by the x264_encoder_reconfig(..) method, so the only possibility I see is setting it in advance in the setup phase.
