After digging in the CVS archives, I find that it did work like that
up till this 7.0 patch:

1999-09-29 12:05  wieck

    This is part #1 for of the DEFERRED CONSTRAINT TRIGGER support.
    Implements the CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER and SET CONSTRAINTS
    commands.

So the example was probably correct when put in, but no one's noticed it
was wrong since 7.0 :-(
