It looks like it isn't true anymore because khash.h contains this comment:

* Use quadratic probing. When the capacity is power of 2, stepping function
i*(i+1)/2 guarantees to traverse each bucket. It is better than double
hashing on cache performance and is more robust than linear probing.
In theory, double hashing should be more robust than quadratic probing.
However, my implementation is probably not for large hash tables, because
the second hash function is closely tied to the first hash function,
which reduce the effectiveness of double hashing.
