I would consider it an issue of some kind, simply based on the
people discussing it.  (i.e. if a major developer thinks it's a
bug... or at least, "consistent with some other weird
behaviour.... it's not intuitive"... then I think it's worth
adding it to the tracker.

It's debateable whether it's a doc or code problem, but for now,
I'd add it as Type-Defect Priority-Low.
