relay_log_space_limit does not seem to work

>Description:
I have been looking for a way of controlling the size of the relay logs.
I found nothing in the manuall regarding this but suddenly the changelog for
4.0.13 mention relay_log_space_limit.

However, setting this variable does not seem to work.
Information about relay_log_space_limit should also be mention in the manual,
now it only appears on the changelog

>How-To-Repeat:
in /etc/my.cnf on slave I have:
[mysqld]
set-variable = relay_log_space_limit=300M

But my relay logs are much bigger:
$ ls -all /var/lib/mysql/*relay*
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 712699765 Jun 12 14:55
/var/lib/mysql/foobar-relay-bin.001
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 20 Jun 6 18:50
/var/lib/mysql/foobar-relay-bin.index
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 52 Jun 12 14:55
/var/lib/mysql/relay-log.info

>Fix:
N/A
