I was just about to report a bug in the usage information - the -v option seems to be required *after* the command, not before (as the output of 'dzil commands' says)

This is a documentation issue. -v takes an optional plugin name, so you can make just one plugin verbose. When you say "dzil -v new MyNewModule", dzil thinks "new" is that plugin name, which leaves "MyNewModule" as the command. "dzil new MyNewModule -v" works.
