The description of the example gives a clue:

  Disc sector size is 512, file system block size is 4096. [1]

But I certainly need to explain in the manual that -b is position dependent. 
The first -b sets the sector size for options -i, -o, and -s, while the 
second -b sets the block size for the badblocks list.

Thank you very much for reporting this.
