The "time" package supplies the /usr/bin/time binary, which is what the
time(1) manpage describes, and which does accept all the options listed
therein.
The fact that the error message you're receiving begins "bash:" means that
you're using bash's builtin version of "time", which only supports -p, as
documented in bash(1). If you want to run the version from time, use
/usr/bin/time explicitly.
I'm therefore closing this report as there is no bug here.
Regards,
Adam
