"%u" printed line number. Its right for command file and
confuse for line interactive :-(
But its not busybox problem, ash/dash have this problem.

 From my a correspondence with Herbert Xu:

 >Also. This version have strange warning and error messages:
 >>
 >> dash$ pwd --
 >> pwd: 1: Illegal option --
 >> dash$ cd /aaa
 >> cd: 2: can't cd to /aaa
 >>
 >> I think, show lineno true if is notinteractive usage only.
