Well, it was changed in this commit:

commit 1a2051ece2e27fea65b9bf05dac235a7e358f52a
Author: Jean-Louis Martineau <[email protected]>
Date:   Thu Dec 17 17:41:01 2009 +0000

    * common-src/conffile.c: etimeout must be positive.
    * common-src/protocol.c: Fix possible timeout of 0.

I don't remember the motivation for the change, though - maybe JLM
does.  But the upshot is that it looks like the manpage was not
properly updated.
