I think I saw this issue a week or so ago -  I've not been able to reproduce this on an out-of-the-box configuration; just dropping the home_server and home_server_pool stanzas into proxy.conf on a new installation doesn't cause the issue.

It seems to occur when you have a home server configured with "type = auth".

Simply changing the home_server type to auth+acct makes the config parser happy again.

Debug log follows; I'm building debug symbols at the moment to see if I can get GDB to give anything more useful.
