It still says something similar:

  +                                                         FORMS is
  +evaluated once during macroexpansion to obtain the list of forms.  In
  +the fully expanded code those forms will be evaluated once before BODY
  +and their results will be bound to fresh uninterned variables, one for
  +each form.

So I think we need to fix that as well.  I hope once we have the text
for the manual ready, it will be easier to figure out how to say the
same in the doc string.
