This is intentional behavior. Specifying --sleep without any --count just repeats the operation until interrupted. This is the similar to how the standard unix 'ping' command operates. (The difference is that the unix ping runs indefinitely by default, but mysqladmin only does so when an interval is specified.) This should get documented, so I am re-classifying as a documentation bug.
