If its any consolation, your question triggered a documentation patch. Matt Caswell recently committed it. "Add information to BUGS section of enc documentation. PR#3354", https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commit;h=18c4f522f49eb54a61bada6d39a8b137b6751f01hb=18c4f522f49eb54a61bada6d39a8b137b6751f01;hpb=ab6577a46ecee670b640f0ee49e2ebef80ad18a7.
