That can also be seen as a POSIX conformance bug
Not really, as POSIX does not require support for UTF-8 (except in the pax utility, which is not part of coreutils).
It'd be nice if pr etc. could be made to work cleanly for UTF-8. In the meantime if you could submit a patch for the documentation that should fix the immediate documentation problem.
