It's not the name of the option; it's a description of what the option represents.
Ok, I guess it was the quotes around it that confused me to belive it was option names. Well, then this is not a bug.
Come to think of it, maybe "option" in these messages should be replaced by "parameter" then. These are really parameters, no? Examples: "cp -r foo" Here, "foo" is a parameter, and "-r" is an option. This is my picture of the nomenclature =) So if the "options" here are used as "parameters", maybe they should be renamed to reflect that. Reopening.
Will be changed in 5.63-1.
