I don't agree that it should ultimately be considered as an issue in the API
documentation, because the API usage is based on that documentation, and users
expect the functions to work as described there. If someone wanted to use this
function, they must've expected that Overwrite would be false by default, based
on the documentation.
If they noticed the contradiction between the documentation and actual
behavior, and relied on the way it worked, that's a deliberate action (and a
serious mistake).
On the other hand there might also be code out there that relies on the
documented default value of the Overwrite flag, and the bug simply went
unnoticed.
