I think that you are right. Looking into this issue is on my TODO list for 4.8. The diff is a bit more complex, as we need to change not only src/bin/ksh/ksh.1, but also src/bin/ksh/c_sh.c, src/sbin/mknod/mknod.8, and src/sbin/mknod/mknod.c. We need to specify either b or c when making a special file.
