-q0 definitely sounds worse to me than -q2 in recent versions. If it was better it would likely already be used by --alt-preset standard. I believe Takehiro can confirm it is 'broken' in 3.90 onwards.
Interesting, wierd, and unsettling... I must check into this ASAP. If it is indeed broken, I would think it obvious for the LAME crew to either fix it or circumvent it. Thanks for the heads up.
This was fixed in 3.93.1, as mentionned in the history.html
