auditctl does not accept even it's own example usage

Description:

Trying to add any audit rule with audit package 4.0.2-1 seems to always fail.

This is from EXAMPLES section of the auditctl manpage

# auditctl -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -F path=/etc/shadow -F perm=wa
path can only be used with exit filter list
There was an error while processing parameters

This is from Arch Wiki

# auditctl -A exclude,always -F exe=/usr/bin/sudo
Add rule - bad keyword exclude,always
There was an error while processing parameters

There is no difference between CLI invocation or loading from /etc/audit/rules.d files through augenrules --load.

Downgrading just to one version back (4.0.1-3) works without any errors with the same rules/invocation.

Building the project from the upstream repo (tag v4.0.2) with their configure flags, then running just the newly built 4.0.2 auditctl with the above rules works without a problem.

Additional info:

• package version(s): 4.0.2-1
• link to upstream bug report, if any: --
• config and/or log files: at the end

Steps to reproduce:

1. Update to get audit package 4.0.2-1, with the configs as provided by the package, no custom rules in rules.d/
2. Try to add any rule, for example: auditctl -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -F path=/etc/shadow -F perm=wa
   Or any other one from the example of quiet.rules at arch wiki
