Well, you didn't mention that you had a test case that proved otherwise... :-) I thought you were just asking about the documentation.
If your assessment is accurate, then this sounds like a spec compliance issue -- which I am surprised hasn't been discovered until now. If you could package together a simple junit testcase that demonstrates this scenario, then we should take a closer look. A JIRA [1] would also be good, if you access to that.
