Well, the man page do say:
        The primary documentation of GNU Emacs is  in  the  GNU  Emacs Manual,
        which  you  can  read  using Info, either from Emacs or as a standalone
        program.  Please look there for complete and up-to-date  documentation.
        This  man  page  is  updated only when someone volunteers to do so; the
        Emacs maintainers' priority goal is to minimize the amount of time this
        man page takes away from other more useful projects.

You are free to update it if you wan't.  I seems to have been updated last 
2008-12-14, and the -Q and --maximized changes are earlier than that.

That was a bug, now fixed.
