That's interesting for two reasons. Firstly, the Dictionary comments
for
BOTH commandNames and functionNames say: "including synonyms."
Secondly, and most importantly, the described use of these functions
are:
"to check whether a particular command/function already exists in
LiveCode,
to avoid using a reserved word for your own custom handlers". The
Example
is to take the result of 'the command/functionNames' and check whether
the
name you want to use is among the lines of the result; so it would seem
pointless that 'open' not be there because it's a synonym for 'go'.
open and go are both there, as should all synonyms. If you discover ANY
commands/functions missing then a Bug Report should be submitted.

Thanks for all the feedback. It's at least nice to know that I was
doing it right! I'll dig through the submitted bugs and see if I can
find a good place to attach my findings.
