Yep, this is definetely a bug:

[root at home ~]# pacman3 -U
http://www.archlinux.org/~aaron/pacman/pacman-rc-2007.02.16-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
 pacman-rc               1195,3K   23,2K/s 00:00:52 [#####################] 100%
loading package data... done.
checking dependencies... done.
cleaning up... done.

:: mpd requires flac=1.1.2

[root at home ~]# pacman3 -Qi mpd | grep Depends -A2
Depends On     : libid3tag  libmad  libvorbis  flac=1.1.2  libao  zlib  libogg
                 audiofile  faad2  libmikmod  bash  alsa-lib  libshout
                 libmpcdec

I think something was broken during version comparison fixes.
