It's not so strange. First of all, #'(0.5 . 0.5) is already the default 
value.
Secondly, you have to replace the example by an example that
shows the slanted line:
\relative c'' {
 \set Staff.pedalSustainStyle = #'bracket
 c1\sustainOn c \sustainOff \sustainOn c\sustainOff c
 \override Staff.PianoPedalBracket #'bracket-flare = #'(1.5 . 1.5)
 c1\sustainOn c \sustainOff \sustainOn c\sustainOff c
}

(A quick look into the examples in the manual gave me the
clue to this behaviour).
