This is actually incorrect. See this recent discussion on the dev mailinglist:
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-01/0340.shtml

The current documentation doesn't agree with how it actually behaves.
The documentation will probably be fixed to describe the current
behavior...

I don't know if the behavior was different in 1.5 though.
