It's valid syntax ... just not documented in the man page. You have to
go out to the website to find out about it.

Looking through the code, this error message seems to mean that
growisofs found a parameter that it doesn't recognize and assumes you
mean to pass it to mkisofs.

I'd double check the spelling of all the options. Maybe retype the
command to make sure there aren't any invisible control characters that
are somehow getting interpreted as options.

If none of that works, try adding --quiet to the command line. My quick
look through the code suggests this might work (Though my confidence of
that is low). If it does work, I'd really like to hear it though.

Finally, if none of those things work, you might try:
growisofs -Z /dev/cd0=/dev/fd/0 < image.iso
