Hi Andrew,

> Perhaps this is a documentation issue, 

I think this is mostly an implementation issue in a niche driver. The changeset 
that 
introduced this ( https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/21821 ) isn't very 
verbose of the 
motivation. I suspect that the intent was to benefit from PAM for a few things, 
but not 
wanting to generate a .aux.xml file when SetNoDataValue() is called.

I've changed this in https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/40003 to use the PAM 
.aux.xml file to laod non-default nodata value on GetNoDataValue(), and write 
into PAM 
on SetNoDataValue() if the value is different than the default one. Should be a 
reasonable compromise on the presumed original intent.
