bitrate ignored for DIV3 codec

Platform: Windows 7 32bit VLC version: 2.1.1 and nightly build vlc-2.2.0-git-20131121-1102-win32

I tried to transcode a mp4 video into a DIV3 AVI video using following command line:

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc" -I dummy -v test.mp4 sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=960,acodec=mpga,ab=96,channels=2,deinterlace}:standard{access=file,mux=avi,dst=test.avi} vlc://quit

The vb parameter is ignored. The resulting file gets way too big. When I change the number from 960 to another value, the resulting file size doesn't change.

I have found a similar bug reported here: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/8239
