Thanks for the report.
That has been fixed since coreutils-5.1.0.

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.1.2.tar.gz
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.1.2.tar.bz2
  (coreutils is the union of fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils)

FYI, although 5.1.2 is a `test' release, no significant
problems have been reported against it.
