I don't think that anything changed compared to 1.7. I didn't check
the full reference, but the SMask entry simply says

I guess that the test was added to handle PDF <1.4 and
simply wasn't adapted when the major version was added.
The point is always the same: without a public 2.0 reference, we can
make patches here and there
while waiting for the next failure.
We can probably gamble that version 2 supports it so we could add some
"or version > 2" to the test but indeed 'no standard on our machines'
maans 'no testing' and no recent acrobat on our machines means 'no
testing if a patch works either' ... no way we're going to subscribe to
some monthly adobe service for tools we don't really need nor can afford
to pay for the rest of our life just for the sake of maintaining free
software.
