Hi Andreas Henriksson! Appologies for never following up on this bug. I solved my problem back then the trial-and-error way and never had to use tc again, so never invested time into this.
However reading the man page again, it actually makes sense now. What cleared thing up for me was the following sentence: "The priomap also allows you to list higher priorities (> 7) which do not correspond to TOS mappings, but which are set by other means." Now I see: The priomap maps from "Linux Priority" to Band not from TOS Bits. I guess what confused me was that the priomap has 16 entries which also is the number of possible TOS values. So actually there is no bug in the man page. Since we both had a hard time understanding it, maybe it should be improved. Or maybe is has already been improved over the past 10 years - after all it looks sufficiently clear to me now. I think, unless you have an idea how to explain things more naturally or unambiguous, this report can be closed.
