I fixed it sometime ago.

But just re-tested it and whew, there is another bug :(
and we also don't support long opts like --create.

Time to deal with it. This patch fixes both bugs
and adds the above example tot he testsuite.

Which hopefully means that it will stay fixed :)

Will be included in busybox 1.11.1.
