If the current implementation is what we want (and I personally don't
have an opinion either way), then I don't think the subtle difference
is important enough to update the manual.  The described behavior is
what most users will see almost all the time; accurately describing
the subtlety of this when you crash will most probably be so confusing
that it is not worth doing.
