Note that --config='', --config="", --config=, '--config=', '''''--config='"""" (and many combinations of these, but not e.g. --config="''" ;) are the same, when entered from shell command line -- so perhaps the error message somehow shows that empty file is not suitable (nor '.' nor '..', in which case it should first try something to figure out that the filename is suitable (but preferably not creating it first...)
