Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the
documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website
shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant
product(s).

Additional info:

Updated the sections that describe Windows symlink support
to indicate that this feature is enabled specifically for Max builds
only before MySQL 4.0, and enabled for all Windows servers as
of MySQL 4.0.
