The transcript dictionary explains it like this:

Cross-platform note: Windows and OS X do not execute the beep command if
it’s issued while a beep is playing. This means that if you specify a
numberOfTimes on a Windows or OS X system, the user might hear fewer beeps
because not all of them are sent to the speaker. To ensure that the user
hears a specific number of beeps, use a loop with a wait command after each
beep:


  repeat for 4 times -- ensure 4 separate beeps
    beep
    wait 200 milliseconds
  end repeat

Translation:


     This bug is at such a low priority,
     it is not scheduled to be fixed,
     so the burden falls to the documentation writer
     to cheerfully rationalize it away.

     The programmer's time is valuable,
     and the tech writer's time is, too.
     But, it is clear to the whole world
     that the programer's time is more so.

The user's time is not even considered.
