I think you have FEATURE_TELNETD_STANDALONE=y and therefore you need -i
if you want to run telnetd from inetd:

# ./busybox telnetd --help
BusyBox v1.7.0.svn (2007-06-19 18:40:17 CEST) multi-call binary

Usage: telnetd [OPTION]

Handle incoming telnet connections

Options:
        -l LOGIN        Exec LOGIN on connect
        -f issue_file   Display issue_file instead of /etc/issue
        -p PORT         Port to listen to
        -b ADDR         Address to bind to
        -F              Stay in foreground
        -i              Run as inetd subservice
