It should, see http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/error_policy.html

You can probably use -v1 and not lose any important information. The
current list is at:
http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/FAQ.html#verbosity
maybe that should be changed so that:
level 0: Fatal errors
level 1: Warnings and error messages not covered by the error policy
level 2: Warnings/errors that are covered
That way you could use -v1 and not lose anything (since the error
policy errors are written into the rdiff-backup-data/error_log file
anyway). If someone didn't want to see Fatal errors they could
redirect to /dev/null.
