The second patch from https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62227
(6d2fa2c9a065743b9655427cedaf54bb55cd143f) seems to generate this text in the
manual page:


                                      A warning is issued if you
try to pass a pattern containing a - but not  consisting  solely
of  one - slash, unless the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT
is set or the option -nowarn is used.


It looks like we have "-" where "/" was likely intended.
