For some reason the user defined output filenames are going haywire!

For example try this (quotes needed to protect the filename from the command line shell) resulting filenames should be...
rose-4-0.gif rose-3-1.gif rose-2-2.gif rose-1-3.gif rose-0-4.gif

But I am getting...
rose-%[filename:base]-%[filename:index]-0.gif
rose-%[filename:base]-%[filename:index]-1.gif
rose-%[filename:base]-%[filename:index]-2.gif
rose-%[filename:base]-%[filename:index]-3.gif
rose-%[filename:base]-%[filename:index]-4.gif

That is the %[filename:...] escape is not being substituted.

downloaded and compiled from SVN.

We can reproduce the problem you reported. We have a patch in ImageMagick 6.7.1-1 Beta to fix the problem. Note %t of rose: returns null because rose: is considered a prefix and is not considered part of the base filename. Instead try rose:rose as the image filename.
