Which version do you mean by "4.6"? "4.60"? Something else?

"git annotate" on the relevant file (match.c starting at line 809) shows the
last change/addition in 2007, by Philip Hazel; looking at git history for the
file and some particular changes, I'm not seeing anything which looks like it
removed any lines.

The last change therefore is d52120f2 which adds +ignore_defer; that was change
PH/12 of release 4.68. Without that change, the file wouldn't have matched
after the first line which failed to match a pattern. "10." would have been
tried as a hostname, which would fail, and then be deferred. I'm not aware of
any changes to this.

I don't think there's a relevant change here, except that you can now use
+ignore_defer to continue past those items, which you couldn't before.

Are you sure that the 10. line wasn't moved to the top recently?
