Read the syntax on the man page:
       ip rule  [ list | add | del | flush ] SELECTOR ACTION

       SELECTOR := [ from PREFIX ] [ to PREFIX ] [ tos TOS ] [ fwmark
               FWMARK[/MASK] ] [ dev STRING ] [ pref NUMBER ]


There is no mention of dsfield argument.

TOS field is masked by down to only 2 bits. 
See include/net/route.h in kernel source.
I think the reason was that with original TOS (pre dsfield) route design,
the implementors wanted to save space.
