I think it's definitely being adversarial to the reader, yes. Hard to come up with a better newbie trap than vaguely saying "on some (possibly popular) systems you need a property which fundamentally excludes half of the use-cases", bonus points for making that property an obscure-if-you-don't-know-about-it operation on directories, documented once half-way through the fifty errors in open(2). It would have cost approximately nothing to include HP-UX and AIX in the text (especially since they're already in the commit message), or to mention the directory syncing usecase explicitly here, or up to 5 minutes to arrive at the bisection I got, or write this in a way that isn't FUD, so it must've been on purpose. Best,
