Yes, the wording is a bit unfortunate.

It does:
file foo:
***A***
***B***
file foo.tr:
***1***
.di bar
***2***
.cf foo
***3***
.br
.di
***4***
.bar
***5***
now troff -Tascii foo.tr gives:
...
t***1***
n40 0
V160
H0
t***4***
n40 0
V200
H0
***A***
***B***
x font 1 R
f1
s10
V240
H0
t***2***
wh24
t***3***
n40 0
V320
H0
t***5***
...
Perhaps it's helpful to think that, within a diversion, each line of a
file inserted with .cf is handled as if it was preceded with `\!\\!'.
I'll add this to the documentation.
