It's a bug, and valve has even said so on this mailing list. You should be specifying +map not -map. By default if you start a single server, the mapcycle.txt is read and whatever is first is loaded (I think). But with -fork it doesn't do this, for some reason it expects the first map to be taken from the command line arguments.
