The docs may say that, but the code doesn't do anything about "." and "..". I just double-checked unix/dir.c. :-( I actually remember looking at this years ago when I wrote the original code, and thinking through the "." and ".." problem, which is why I said that APR will return those two values first, but I don't think I ever actually coded it, and I'm not sure how it would be done.
