Yes, they're not clear on this.

Presumably, it seemed like a good idea to someone at some time to treat the 
leaf directory consistently with the intermediate directories, when 
'withIntermediateDirectories:' is YES.

Or perhaps this was originally just a bug that was overlooked.

It makes sense as a historical behavioral artifact, but changing the behavior 
of the existing API might break existing code in hard-to-debug ways.

I'd suggest you submit documentation feedback reporting the confusing 
description. It's likely not a high-priority issue, but OTOH it wouldn't be 
hard to improve the documentation.
