I now understand why the feature text was listed that way, to correspond
with the command line client. I would rather it said something less
cryptic like "List revisions until last move/rename". What I felt was
cryptic was the words "stop on". It makes sense once you get an
explanation but someone who had never used that feature before (like me)
could potentially have a problem with figuring that out, like I did.

I know for a that I've never changed the state of that checkbox, and it
was on for me. It may or may not have been on by default in older
versions (my install was on top of a couple older revisions but the
problem persisted through a fresh install of 1.2.6).
And Rit Shriner, thanks for your explanation of the usage scenario, I
hadn't thought about it that way and I can see why such a feature exists
now.
