bug: df -l considers no filesystems local

Cygwin 1.7.2-2, coreutils 8.4-2

On a fresh cygwin install, df -l returns:

df: no file systems processed

while plain df returns
$ df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
C:/cygwin/bin         28675048  12848260  15826788  45% /usr/bin
C:/cygwin/lib         28675048  12848260  15826788  45% /usr/lib
C:/cygwin             28675048  12848260  15826788  45% /
C:                    28675048  12848260  15826788  45% /cygdrive/c

... this seems to be a bug. Rechecked on a fresh cygwin install to another 
directory, no change.

The manpage says:
 -l, --local    limit listing to local file systems


This breaks a generic unix disk space monitoring script that invokes "df 
-l -P" and parses the output.

(Removing -l in the script lets everything work fine, but that's 
suboptimal, we'll catch network drives as well - which we don't want)
