             This is the bug in busybox that should be fixed.

busybox's design here is unconventional but it's been done that way for a long time, and the patch correctly fixes things in line with the current design. If you want to submit a different patch instead that goes against the current design to do things more conventionally, go for it, but I suspect that will end up being a bigger and riskier change.
