Oh good point. I've filed a note asking the docs to be updated.

I suspect in their example, you might actually be OK. Provided all file 
wrappers start out life in-memory (inefficient I know), I don't believe they 
ever get purged to disk, so can always be written. When writing, hardlinks are 
used for efficiency, rather than because that's where the data is located.
