Not at all.
This is a result from the continuously ongoing work on the manual: Previously the manual had the button mappings itself directly in the text describing the functions. Thus, there were only macros that actually expanded in the button names. Now, as the button action stuff came in, we're trying to mimic this as it makes writing a lot easier (simply because we only need to care for the action, and the mapping action -> button is done in the platform files). Thus, while the actions were already defined they haven't been used. After conversion the button names are correct as they are defined by the action system.
The same applies to a lot of other locations in the manual were the buttons haven't changed to use the action system yet. Currently the work on the manual is pretty slow. Like for Rockbox itself the speed of changes in the manual depends on the spare time of the guys involved. For myself, I'm pretty busy with RL ATM. So expect more glitches like that (but if you want out help us out with it you're welcome).

CapnBry:
Yeah I was thinking the manual wasn't such a fast moving target (as far as documenting base functionality), but checking the CVS logs I see that it has been undergoing a lot of changes.  It's pretty cool how you can have one core manual that describes rockbox but has the right context information for each of your target platforms.

Even better is the fact that the rockbox manual is 10x more informative than the original firmware manual (which didn't described what the buttons did, but not what everything in the menu or all the icons on the screen were).

Often when I want to stop listening, I want to hear the last tune to the end, then stop - and not stop in the middle - and not stop the song and restart it to play only that one song (as described above).

This is AFAIK not possible.
Would it be so hard to fix a "stop after this track" mode?

Llorean:
How hard is it to just press stop when the song ends?

This seems very very very far into the "fluff" category in terms of features someone would like.

mlind:
How hard is it to press "left" when the song ends to hear it again, instead of using the "repeat one"-mode?
Probably there's a lot of reasons to have "repeat one", but I never use it.

I could find several ways to use "play one and stop".

For example: This is to me a far better thing than "sleep timer".
Put on that nice song with the soft ending. Fall asleep. Player stops when the song ends. Sleep on.... Any new song would wake me up, however soft it is.

Also: Using the player for a show. Play one backing track - all of it, but not a sound of the next track. Stop. When the dancers/singers/whatevers are ready: play next backing track. Stop.

Hmm.
Maybe this function would be better as "play one and pause".
