This is pkg(7) struggling to parse options that it doesn't do anything with 
other than pass them through to the real pkg(8).

As said elsewhere in the thread, a fix for the problem has been committed to 
base.  Until that makes its way through the system into a release, you can work 
around the problem by changing your command to:

/usr/local/sbin/pkg query -e '%#r == 0' '%n-%v'

ie. call pkg(8) directly rather than via pkg(7).

    Cheers,

The bug has never been in any release. It was only in 15-CURRENT since April 
30th.
