error with current .htaccess generation

I tried the current dev version (7.x-1.0+4-dev) of Boost and I could not get any REQUESTs through, not even a login. So I removed it and reinstalled the 1.0 version and it worked fine. The n I updated to the current dev version (version = "7.x-1.0+4-dev") and it still works.

So, the problem is in the .htaccess code that the new version generates. The new code does not bypass REQUESTs correctly. I have a work around, I just won't update my .htaccess. But this will start causing problems for many others.

Following are the generated .htaccess sections for the 1.0 and the 1.0+4-dev versions:

1.0:
