It will be fixed in the next version, thanks for the report.

This fix has been integrated in youtube-dl 2014.04.04.5. It looks like you have installed youtube-dl with pip or another package manager. Type sudo pip install -U youtube-dl or use your package manager to update. Again, thank you for the report!
