Perhaps, depending on how much you want to distinguish security
deficiencies from bugs, and whether you consider the online help
(providing detailed instructions for a security feature which does
*not* work) to be part of the documentation.  My own view is that
when a software product does not behave as described by the
instructions which accompany it, that is a bug.
