OK, until this might get fixed I created a workaround for me. I created 
my profile file as template with a placeholder for the bitrate and 
during runtime this placeholder will be replaced with the actual 
bitrate. Works fine.

Just for my own understanding: In previous versions mencoder did the 
parsing of the arguments (command line and profile) and called the x264 
encoding functions with proper arguments.
So now the options are just passed to some x264 function and this will 
take care of parsing the arguments? So the bug is somewhere here?
