Yes, this was a side effect of the conversion for compatibility with Python 
3.X. This has been fixed recently (http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3441), 
so the fix will be available in the next FWTools version

I think this is expected. The file pointed by --optfile must be a text file 
whose content is substituted into the command line. It cannot be a GDAL 
dataset, such as a .vrt or .tif file. If you want to specify just one source 
file directly, remove the --optfile parameter and just specify the filename.
