I'm not sure why this is a bug, as you have not given any indication of
buggy behavoir.
The man page discourages the use of -f and -m together because they CAN
abort with a cryptic error message if -m undoes something -f required.
They will work together in a limited number of cases.
Perhaps the man page should have a less stronger warning.
