Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. First of all, please use 'ubuntu-bug coreutils' next time, so that a minimum of information can be automatically collected (like, for example, package version, coreutils version).

I can confirm this on coreutils 8.20 (Raring, version 8.20-3ubuntu5):

[cerdea-aws]cerdea@xango3:/build/buildd/coreutils$ seq --version
seq (GNU coreutils) 8.20

[cerdea-aws]cerdea@xango3:/build/buildd/coreutils$ seq -s, 5
1
2,3,4,5,[cerdea-aws]cerdea@xango3:/build/buildd/coreutils$

But I cannot see it on a more up-to-date coreutils:

[cerdea-aws]cerdea@xango3:/build/buildd/coreutils$ src/seq --version
seq (GNU coreutils) 8.21.20-2c2d0

[cerdea-aws]cerdea@xango3:/build/buildd/coreutils$

So I will check as soon as possible for the fix.
