You seem to be missing the point that using iptables -S (or iptables-save) is
intended to be used to restore the rules (perhaps via iptables-restore).  If it
finds a match it does not recognize (like quota2), then it can't print out the
options used with that match (like the quota for instance).  This is a critical
failure, and exiting is appropriate.  If you'd like to see the full ruleset,
use iptables -nvL instead, which will show you everything, even unknown matches
(which is ok, since you can't easily attempt to use this output to restore
rules).  

# iptables -nvL foo
Chain foo (0 references)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

        UNKNOWN match `quota'
