Hi, LOCAL means that the local client reads the pipe, and then sends the data to the server, as opposed to the server reading the data. Due to the qualities involved this is not that practical. (I would write the myisam table files directly if I know how.)
However in my search for previous mysql-server-5.0 packages I downloaded the etch_di_rc1 iso images. These have mysql 5.0.24a-9. I can confirm that LOAD DATA INFILE 'pipe' works for mysql-server-5.0 version 5.0.24a-9. So the bug was introduced some between 5.0.24a-9 and 5.0.30-3. I hope this helps.
