The former appears to be buggy, the latter not buggy ;-)

Not quite.  --erlang sets (or should set) the target language to Erlang,
leaving other grade components unchanged;  --grade erlang should both
set the target language to Erlang and reset all other grade components
to their default values.  (I'm not quite sure what's going wrong with
--erlang at the moment.  The error message you were getting indicates
that at least part of the compiler still thinks that the target language
is C -- I will look into it.)

Cheers,
Julien.
