>Description:
cut(1) says:

-f list The list specifies fields, delimited in the input by a single
        tab character.  Output fields are separated by a single tab
        character.

The last sentence is wrong: the fields are separated by the delimiter character (default tab, but -d can be used to change the delimiter).
>How-To-Repeat:
man cut(1)
>Fix:
SUS v3 says instead:

"Output fields shall be separated by a single occurrence of the field delimiter character."
