When an option could be an ambiguous abbreviation of two options, the code
used to error out. Even if an exact match would have occured later.

Yeah, I assumed that you would never do such a thing, but I agree
that with recursing option parsing it is much more likely.
It took me some time to understand your patch, and that the moving
of the UNSET handling was unnecessary.
IMHO this patch is easier to read.
