That's another place where the man page is obsolete and wrong. (In GNU projects, man pages are often poorly maintained as they are not the primary form of documentation; one is supposed to read the manual instead.) I installed the attached patch to fix that.
My MySQL mysqldump problem can be solved with --text or --binary-files=text. So I do not search a quick solution anymore.
Works for me.
