Maybe, but I think it's just as reasonable to regard it as a bug in the
docs.

I think it's useful for verify to be able to verify chains from trust
anchors (whether or not they're root CAs), and that "verify" ought to
regard -CAfile and -CApath as pointing at certificates representing such
trust anchors.

With that interpretation 0.9.8o is right and 1.0.0a appears to be wrong.
