This is due to a recent change:
cb9fc36a1211967e8c58b0502a26c42552ac8060

Basically, the intention here is that options like this work as
"per-address-family booleans". i.e. they primarily parse as booleans,
but you can also assign them the special value "ipv4" and "ipv6",
which turns them on only for one of the two address families.

The old names for the options are still accepted for compat, but we
only document the new names, to make people use only the new names.
