Comment (by FrancescoRizzi):

 Replying to [comment:4 nacin]:
 > I don't see the documentation issue here, to be honest. The category
 doesn't exist, so the request will 404 and the various flags will all be
 false, except for is_404. Same goes for pages, posts, really anything
 queryable.

 I think the issue is that the inline doc don't hint at the actual
 behaviour in this scenario
 {{{
 Whether current page query contains a category name or given category
 name.
 }}}
 Is not the same as
 {{{
 Whether the current page query contains a category name, or given category
 name, and (if so) whether the category exists.
 }}}
