As far as I can tell, that reference to '--' in the man page
is an error, there is no such option.
I'm having trouble understanding the second sentence so I can't be sure
if '--' is a typo for '-'.

I checked the source, fvwm/bindings.c.
Unless it's very well hidden, it doesn't parse anything like '--'.
The closest it gets is:

	if (
		action == NULL || *action == 0 ||
		(action[0] == '-' && !is_pass_through))
	{
		is_unbind_request = True;
	}

Basically, it sees the first character of the next action
and turns on is_unbind_request.  So, if the arg was
'--' it would still do the unbind.
