I think you're right. This example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq foo 1) ; dynamic global binding without defvar.
(let (_)
(defvar foo) ; Mark foo as special
(let ((foo foo)) ; creates lexical binding on foo.
(setq foo (1+ foo)) ; sets lexically bound value.
(symbol-value 'foo))) ; accesses dynamically bound value.
; => 2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
marks foo as special and symbol-value returns the value within the inner
let. I agree with Tassilo that the docs could be a bit more clear.
