[Exim] Exim 3.952: require_files problem

I just tried to convert my 3.34-configuration to 4.0.

There is one (little) problem which results in my
mailman-configuration:

An entry like

require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db

results in an error:

failed to expand "/home/mailman/lists/${lc" for require_files: "${lc"
is not a known operator (or a } is missing in a variable reference)

Whereas:

condition = ${if exists{..path above...}{true}{false}}

instead of require_files works.

require_files without the $lc does work.

Is this a known problem or did I miss something in the documentation?
