No, the --cosmic-gnugo option was added before 3.5.1,
--no-cosmic-gnugo was new in 3.5.2. Notice that you still can turn on
cosmic by default through a configure flag. Then --no-cosmic-gnugo is
useful.

Not really, rather misunderstanding the nature of the problem. See
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/gnugo-devel/2003-08/msg00190.html
with comments for an explanation of the ascii mode change.
