Comment (by AndreasK):

 There is already a issue for reworking the argument parser: #4243 (Make a
 proper options parser for the RTS)

 Using a unified parser would certainly fix this behavior as well.

 There is also interesting behaviour with -rtsopts=none

 * `app -- +RTS arg1` get's silently ignored
 * `app +RTS arg1` gives a warning (as expected)
