This is weird:

FATAL: --help requires argument

Fixed: someone was sloppy about the initial value of server_min_messages.
This is weird:
$ postmaster -d1 --help
FATAL: --help requires argument
$
This is because --help is special-cased and only works at the first
argument position. As you have it, it's being taken as a GUC switch
name.
