[solved] local repo not listed during -Sy

So the loal repo "[myrepo]" is defined in pacman.conf:

$ cat /etc/pacman.conf | grep -A1 myrepo
[myrepo]
Server = file:///home/filip/pkg/64bit

But when I do pacman -Sy or -Syy, pacman output looks like this:

$ pacman -Syy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 testing                   24.7K  424.3K/s 00:00:00 [###################################################] 100%
 core                      31.4K  451.0K/s 00:00:00 [###################################################] 100%
 extra                    396.6K  238.3K/s 00:00:02 [###################################################] 100%
 community                354.0K  489.2K/s 00:00:01 [###################################################] 100%

The local repo is not listed among the repos that are refreshed, but it does appear to be refreshed, because when I search for a package in this repo I can find it without any problems:

$ pacman -Ss exo
extra/exo 0.3.4-2 (xfce4)
    Extensions to Xfce by os-cillation
myrepo/exo 0.3.4-2 (xfce4)
    Extensions to Xfce by os-cillation

Is this a bug in pacman 3.2?  A feature?  A problem on my system?  Can someone confirm before I file a bug report?

It was an "incomplete feature" of 3.2 which will be dropped in 3.2.1 :
