I was recently bitten by this too, and I consider it a bug in the manpage.
-d, --dump
Dump the values of all extended attributes associated with path‐
name.
I'd say it's not unreasondable to read this and think that -d dumps *all*
extended attributes, because that's what it says.
Only if you read later do you find:
-m pattern, --match=pattern
Only include attributes with names matching the regular expression
pattern. The default value for pattern is "^user\\." ...
