Yep, this should be documented.
Same "misunderstandings" usually happen when delaying/deferring or
currying "methodized" element methods:
document.fire.delay(1, 'foo:bar'); // fails
document.fire.bind(document).delay(1, 'foo:bar'); // works
In this particular case, the "problem" is in #methodize method, which
does "lazy" context binding - method is invoked as "this.<method>"
rather than "element.<method>". One of the solutions would be to
perform "early" binding, forcing methods to be called within element's
context. All methodized element's methods could then be used in any
context.
