argp OPTION_ARG_OPTIONAL and -short options

I'm not sure if this is an actual bug or something that I'm doing wrong
with argp, but here goes.

The "short option" equivalents of options that accept an optional
argument don't seem to behave properly.  If the argument to --option is
required, then both -ofoo and -o foo return "foo" as the argument.  If
the argument is defined as optional, only -ofoo will return "foo" as the
argument.

Attached is the code that should display this behavior.  I've only
tested this with glibc 2.2.4.

<sample output from attached code>

$ ./argp-bug -g foo -b bar -h baz
Good:  foo
Bad:  (null)
Cheap Hack:  baz
$ ./argp-bug -g foo -bbar -h baz
Good:  foo
Bad:  bar
Cheap Hack:  baz
$

Is this something I'm doing wrong? The documentation leads me to believe
that I'm expecting the proper behavior, but not getting it.  ;)

Thanks,
Jeremy
