Description:
1) http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/news-5-5-7.html

Changes in MySQL 5.5.7 (Not yet released)

For this release, the server requires that a new grant table, proxy_priv, be present in the mysql database...

2) 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/grant-table-structure.html
and
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/privileges-provided.html
.. have no new information.

How to repeat:
I know this is a not_released version (and updation of docs may be in progress) but server 5.5.7 can be built from source in its current development stage. 

And with the statement ".. the server requires that a new grant table .." http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/grant-table-structure.html should list this privileges' table and if new privileges are introduced also http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/privileges-provided.html should list those.

Suggested fix:
Please provide updated information as soon as possible. The 'version history' is not really useful alone.

proxy_priv is added by WL#1054, for which documentation is in progress. It'll be added all at once, and will account for changes made for Bug#57916.
