right, that's a bug. (just not the bug you wanted)

#% options: point,line,area
#% description: Input type point, line or area

Note the "or".

the string matching tests which the parser uses apparently will consider
the whole options line as well as the components. I wonder what happens 
if you add 
#% multiple: no
?

Anyway it tests the string for each of point,line,area but as it is 
never one individual value none of the three subroutines which handle
each case are actually run, and it exits bypassing them all thinking
everything was ok.

check for this added to the script in CVS.
