OK. This I think may make things a bit clearer

--snip--

sh-4.1# tail -h
tail: invalid option -- 'h'
BusyBox v1.16.2 (2010-06-19 18:02:46 GMT-8) multi-call binary.

Usage: tail [OPTIONS] [FILE]...

Print last 10 lines of each FILE (or stdin) to stdout.
With more than one FILE, precede each with a header giving the file name.

Options:
        -c N[kbm]       Output last N bytes
        -n N[kbm]       Print last N lines instead of last 10
        -f              Output data as the file grows
        -q              Never output headers giving file names
        -s SEC          Wait SEC seconds between reads with -f
        -v              Always output headers giving file names

If the first character of N (bytes or lines) is a '+', output begins with
the Nth item from the start of each file, otherwise, print the last N items
in the file. N bytes may be suffixed by k (x1024), b (x512), or m (1024^2).

So it's using Busybox.

http://www.busybox.net/about.html

@BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single  
small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you  
usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox  
generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however,  
the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave  
very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete  
environment for any small or embedded system.@

so perhaps this is a limitation of the busybox environment?
