Actually, judging from the code (it's in usr.bin/pkill/pkill.c), it
looks like the intended behaviour is more like
1. there is no output without the option.
2. there is the same output as pgrep -l with the option.

Whether or not this matches the manpage is debatable, but it certainly
doesn't match what you're seeing.  Something, as you say, is wrong.
