i cannot see a bug here on OpenWrt:

root@box:~ busybox false --help
BusyBox v1.22.1 (2014-08-28 18:55:30 EDT) multi-call binary.

Usage: false 

Return an exit code of FALSE (1)

root@box:~ echo $?
0
root@box:~ false --help
root@box:~ echo $?
1
root@box:~ false bla
root@box:~ echo $?
1

bye, bastian
