So let me put this without any analogy: I fail to see that merely
because it took a while to discover a bug (and a discrepancy between
documentation and behavior is a bug) this means that the bug is
correct behavior.

Most bugs go unnoticed or at least unrecorded for a long time.  That
does not make them desirable.
