For 'R CMD check', it appears that option '--outdir' is not recognized

says:
Usage: R CMD check [options] pkgs

Options:

-o, --outdir=DIR directory used for logfiles, R output, etc.
(default is 'pkg.Rcheck' in current directory,
where 'pkg' is the name of the package checked)
Example:
mkdir foo
# Check output is written to foo/
R CMD check -o foo pkg_0.1.tar.gz
# Option is ignored and check output is written to bar.Rcheck/
R CMD check --outdir=foo pkg_0.1.tar.gz
Warning: unknown option '--outdir=foo'
# Also tried with:
R CMD check --outdir foo pkg_0.1.tar.gz
Warning: unknown option '--outdir'
R CMD check -outdir=foo pkg_0.1.tar.gz
Warning: unknown option '-outdir=foo'
R CMD check -outdir foo pkg_0.1.tar.gz
Warning: unknown option '-outdir'

I see the same behavior on 3.0.1 (pre-compiled binaries on Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04).

Should I report this to http://bugs.r-project.org/?
