You are probably very right.  Can you please forward this message to
freebsd-doc at freebsd.org?  The guys there are the best bunch of people to
check this out and fix it in the Handbook, if necessary.

I'm preparing to leave for a relatively long trip in a few hours,
otherwise I would have handled this myself.

Thank you, for being kind enough to let us know :-)
