Thanks for the report.
Are you sure there's a problem?
If so, please provide a small example demonstrating it.
And please use the latest test release:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/
The latest test release seems to work properly:
$ printf 123456 | dd conv=noerror,sync ibs=5 obs=5 > /dev/null
1+1 records in
2+0 records out
The above is correct because `sync' directs dd to pad the final,
partial block of input (containing just `6') with NUL bytes, so it
outputs a total of 10 bytes or two full 5-byte records.
Now, if you remove the `sync', maybe you'll see what you expected:
$ printf 123456 | dd conv=noerror ibs=5 obs=5 > /dev/null
1+1 records in
1+1 records out
