What it actually says is that superusers get the replication privilege
by default --- but you can create a superuser without that. If you
see a place that says something different, please point it out
specifically so we can improve it.

Please show your test case. It looks to me like it works as expected:
regression=# create user foo superuser;
CREATE ROLE
regression=# create user foo2 superuser noreplication;
CREATE ROLE
regression=# select rolname,rolsuper,rolreplication from pg_authid ;
rolname | rolsuper | rolreplication
----------+----------+----------------
postgres | t | t
foo | t | t
foo2 | t | f
(3 rows)

That doesn't sound to me like a bug. These flags are independent, we
just provide a certain default at role creation time.
