Re: -jobname broken?

Do you have an example of -jobname working?  Even if I put
\message{\jobname} later, or remove it alltogether, latex doesn't seem to
respect -jobname:

$ (echo '\relax'; echo
'\documentclass{article}\begin{document}.\message{^^J^^J\jobname^^J^^J}\end{document}')
| latex -jobname=foo
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)
**entering extended mode
