This is using the currently recommended version of mmseqs from the github repository.

Note: MMseqs2 71dd32ec43e3ac4dabf111bbc4b124f1c66a85f1 (May 28, 2023) is used to create the databases and perform sequece search in the ColabFold MSA server. Please use this version if you want to obtain the same MSAs as the server.

There is no error with the newest version of MMSeqs version.

Start in colabfold/mmseqs/search.py, especially mmseqs_search_monomer and run_mmseqs, where --prefilter-mode is added to the search parameters. Compare that parameter with the supported MMseqs version and verify a ColabFold search completes without the unrecognized-parameter error.
