Thanks - will be fixed upstream soon(ish).

In the definition of "long_options" there is one line missing:

...
 {"huawei-new-mode", no_argument, 0, 'J'},
...

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Lars Melin (larsm17)]

Already fixed in usb-modeswitch-2.2.3 released 2015-07-03

Further to comment #4, closing as fix has been in Ubuntu for some time now.
