The '-d' argument is written explicitely to do something only if it has 
a (directly following) argument. Otherwise it does nothing. If this 
should be considered a bug or not is up to discussion, but the code is 
this way at least since the migration to SVN.
That FPC warns if multiple files are supplied is by design as there is a 
specific warning about this. FPC will always use the last filename given 
as mentioned here:
