No, and for that matter I can't be sure that the next release of glibc
will be numbered 2.30.  :)

Backports and distributor patches are a fact of life in the present
ecosystem, but an upstream version still communicates valuable
information.  My opinion.

What would you prefer?  That the man page not document the bug at all?
Was it a mistake in your view to have added the information about the
bug to the man page in the first place?
