Well, that's certainly a perfectly valid pg_hba.conf entry ... my file
contains a line that looks exactly like that, and the parser is *not*
particularly picky about what the whitespace is.
I'm still suspicious that the server is reading pg_hba.conf but trying
to interpret it as some other kind of config data, so I'd advise again
to double-check what you've put in postgresql.conf.
