Documentation discrepancy

[Mitar]

Hi!

I have found a discrepancy between documentation (man page) and
behavior of Bash under -e switch. In documentation it is written:

The shell does not exit if the command that fails is part of the
command list immediately following a while or until keyword, part of
the test in an if statement, part of a && or || list, or if the
command's return value is being inverted via !.

And it is true, this does not exit:

#!/bin/bash -e
echo "Before"
false && false
echo "After"

but strange is that this does:

#!/bin/bash -e
echo "Before"
false || false
echo "After"

Why is that? Is this a bug? A documentation discrepancy?

I am running GNU bash, version 3.2.17(1)-release (i386-apple-darwin9.0).
