Yes this was in discussion at late release cycle and I actually have a patch to
address it:

The author have indicated that it was intentional and cited it was a POSIX

investigated further yet (OpenBSD behavior change was their main.c,v 1.14 at
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/less/main.c).
