Hmm.. yes this seems to be bug in darcs

Yes. Leaving out the --partial will pull all patches up to the given
patch instead of starting at the last checkpoint.

It's not exactly a branch, but more a marker in the patch history. To
answer your question: no you wouldn't get the security updates. The
simplest way to add a security update done after a stable release would
be to download the single patch from
http://dev.splitbrain.org/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=dokuwiki;a=summary
and apply it manually with "darcs apply patchfile.patch".
