Yes, the doc is probably out of date - the condition you mentioned below is no longer enforced in dev code (and so won't
be in 0.7.3).
This is because the facilities to control who can call certain os functions, as smxy mentioned, has been improved. The
effective documentation for this is in the [XEngine] section of OpenSim.ini.example - I don't know if a clearer
explanation has made it onto the wiki yet.
osTeleportAgent is something one has to be very careful with as you can imagine the chaos if anybody were allowed to
call it. Therefore, I think it makes sense to give it the highest 'threat' level.

Hmm ok, maybe the documentation on the wiki is just out of date?

" For osTeleportAgent() to work, the owner of the prim containing the script
must be the same as the parcel that the
avatar is currently on. If this isn't the case then the function fails silently.

You can allow osTeleportAgent to work for groups too, I believe. Michelle
added a number of different ways that
permissions for this function could be set, which were not getting used
because the hard coding of it to only work
for the land owner was overriding it, which is why I advocated for that
restriction's removal. Saying who can use it
is actually very flexible now.
