Undocumented default of post_type parameter to WP_Query with taxonomy queries

Description
post_type parameter default depends on the is_tax attribute. This is not documented here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Type_.26_Status_Parameters
If is_tax is true, and post_type is not provided, the default of 'any' kicks in, and if is_tax is not set, the default of 'post' kicks in.
Either it is a bug, or perhaps just the documentation needs to be updated.
Please let me know what you think.
Thank you for sharing your software.

Replying to wonderboymusic:
Your link points at the Status Parameters docs - did you mean status or post_type? And can you include some code that matches your use case / bug scenario?
It seems that the fragment structure on that page changed.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Type_Parameters is the link.
As for code, basically any WP_Query ( or query_posts and perhaps others) with a custom taxonomy specified, and without a post type specified. post_type WP_Query var will be 'any'.
