This is actually a know problem that was probably fixed only in 5.6 recently. Check Bug #23790 and somewhat related Bug #63187.

I couldn't find those reports when I went through the open bugs - but possibly wrong keywords were used. I can't say that indicated errors are exactly the same, but seems quite similar and related. It's nice that the problem, which originally was reported for 4.1 is somewhat fixed in 5.6, but what about intermediate versions? 5.5 is still the GA and recommended release and 5.1 is widely used... Also, '--verbose --help' seems often used to extract values of all the variables available - maybe, it's reasonable just to extend '--print-defaults' to provide such information and stop abusing '--help' flag.
