The uutils project has the right goals - 1:1 compatibility with GNU coreutils to the extent that any difference in functionality is a bug.
The first comment on LWN is about a bug in the more(1) from uutils. I checked out that code, found some oddities (like doing stat() on a path to check if it exists, right before open()ing it) and went to check against how GNU coreutils does it.
Turns out coreutils does not do it at all, because more(1) is from util-linux. ta-dam.
