Yes.
src/df.c:
fputs (_("\n\
SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of following:\n\
kB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024, and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.\n\
"), stdout);
lib/human.c:
/* human.c -- print human readable file size
[...]
static const char power_letter[] =
{
0, /* not used */
'K', /* kibi ('k' for kilo is a special case) */
'M', /* mega or mebi */
'G', /* giga or gibi */
'T', /* tera or tebi */
'P', /* peta or pebi */
'E', /* exa or exbi */
'Z', /* zetta or 2**70 */
'Y' /* yotta or 2**80 */
};
I agree; coreutils programs should use 'Ki', 'Mi', etc., for kibi, mebi, etc.
