Regarding
`-v'
`--verbose'
     List the files processed, or with `-t', give an `ls -l' style
     table of contents listing.  In a verbose table of contents of a
     ustar archive, user and group names in the archive that do not
     exist on the local system are replaced by the names that
     correspond locally to the numeric UID and GID stored in the
     archive.

However, verbose has another effect,
$ <f cpio -t 980731/QGIS/登革熱02-09.shx
980731/QGIS/登革熱02-09.shx
103896 blocks
$ <f cpio -vt 980731/QGIS/登革熱02-09.shx

103896 blocks

As you see, it escapes the filenames.

And  there  is  no  documentation  on  how  to  turn  off  this  effect.

Nor how to turn it on for just plain -t.

At least document (there at -v on the man page) that there is this
effect -- and that there is no way to turn it on or off.

Hmmm... and it even says on 416701 that it was to be fixed...

This was fixed in upstream version 2.13 (upstream commit
cb76d31808b47783cb0bdac694db5643d1a23b4e).
