Things worse than this have happened. :-)

I don't think in general I would write about driver bugs that have already
been fixed in developer documentation. That said, I'm not sure how otherwise
developers would learn about this, but OTOH has it been reported to us as a
bug?

Marek, Sylwester: any idea how widely the drivers in question are in use? If
there's a real chance of hitting this, then it does make sense to mention it
in the documentation.
