no, present in 4.1.2 as well, with side implications. See for example

http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667

I think anyway predef() is crap. Other pearls:

-->predef([1 2])
              !--error 204
predef: Wrong type for argument 1: Scalar, 'min' or 'max' expected.

-->predef('max')
              !--error 901
Unknown option

and:

-->predef('a');predef('a')
                        !--error 13
Redefining permanent variable.
 
-->quit
