Not *some*, they all return error code 2. And, I don't see anything "invalid" about --help. > the fact that they *also* output help text seems like a bug to me. No, the fact that they output help text is because "--help" was asked for, and they do support "--help". > (this also works for built-ins like "[" and "echo" that do not recognize > "--help"). Then maybe they should. Both /bin/[ and /bin/echo support "--help".
