You are right! The docu should be changed.

Well, the solution is some sort of a hack... I don't know if this should 
go into the documentation - og perhaps just into input/test/ ...

However, this setting does what you request:

        \property Voice.Beam \override #'position-callbacks = #`(
            ,(lambda (x) (ly-set-grob-property! x 'positions '(0 . 0)))
            ,Beam::shift_region_to_valid
            ,Beam::quanting
        )
