The command was renamed to gnc-fq-dump. Using your example:
gnc-fq-dump yahoo MFEXPG.L
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: MFEXPG.L <=== required
date: ** missing ** <=== required
currency: ** missing ** <=== required
last: 0.00 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: <=/
timezone: <=== optional
** This stock quote cannot be used by gnucash!!
Maybe Yahoo changed their site and F::Q can't parse it?
