Maybe it isn't a bug but the documentation should leave as little possibilities
as feasible for interpretation.

This seems to be a problem of wiggle room - it's the same if we talk about self
reference in connection with foreign keys
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.sqlite.general/58688). You can't know
that it is only applicable to two different(!) tables only reading the
documentation.
