The issue with Qbs files that the OP in this thread has have nothing to do with the QML parser change that went into master that you mention here, but with an issue that was taken care of in the 4.6 branch before the 4.6.0 release. See the bugreport that I linked.

When I open a Qbs project with the 4.6.0 release, “import qbs.Environment” and path/pathList properties work fine.

So one should really use current state of 4.6 branch or v4.6.0 when building from source. Looks like the github mirroring started failing, so the source from there is out of date.
