Seems so:

$ exim-4.62-1 -be
> ${if >{08}{7}{ja}{nein}}
ja

$ exim-4.65-1 -be
> ${if >{08}{7}{ja}{nein}}
Failed: invalid integer "08"

Hmm. Additionally the following could cause even more trouble as it does
produce a different result of the same expression and does NOT fail:

$ exim-4.62-1 -be
> ${if ={011}{11}{ja}{nein}}
ja

$ exim-4.65-1 -be
> ${if ={011}{11}{ja}{nein}}
nein

Not that easy so check non-trivial configuration files for such cases.
Looks like I have to downgrade exim on my servers. :-(
