No, it doesn't! You'd have to manually add the option to any existing
scripts, which would otherwise continue to run exactly as before
without any need for modification.
This is a "minor" bug because it solely concerns documentation of a
newly added feature which doesn't break any existing installations.

Please explain what you don't comprehend about the manpage entry
su user group
Rotate log files set under this user and group instead of using
default user/group (usually root). user specifies the user name
used for rotation and group specifies the group used for rota‐
tion.
and can you suggest a better alternative?
