There is also a slight problem with the set-process-sentinel docs - there
really isn't anything that says a process starts with a default sentinel - even
if the set-process-sentinel function is not called.
The current docs set-process-sentinel docs just say what happens if the
sentinel argument is nil. Careful reading certainly implies that the default
sentinel will be given to a process - but surely this kind of information can
be more explicit.

I must admit to a similar confusion. Aside from the fact that more could be
said: does more need to be said?
