Not sure about the docstrings, but the Emacs Manual has many
references to MS-Windows, explaining things specific to that platform,
which obviously is TRT, as that is a supported platform.

The very reason for filing this bug report was that I read about a
feature that didn't work for me.  If the documentation had been
accurate, I wouldn't have had to send this bug report.

IOW, this is a documentation bug.  So, why not fixing it?
