I think that's overstating it.  It appears that glibc implemented the
protocol according to a widely-held but (at least mostly) undocumented
feature of the protocol.  I think my reading of the documents is more
in line with your interpretation, but as you can see in the thread
Mark thought "add" meant something obvious.  Given the wide deployment
of glibc, it's rather hard to call it "wrong" -- it's got a running
code argument, after all.  I think this is probably a gap in the
specification.  It's hardly the first one in the DNS.
