Charles Newey added the comment:

Your point about using "pass" with the "with" statement sounds like a better 
example than using "pass" in a loop.

Perhaps even something like adding a note to the example to clarify it:
"""
# Don't use this in Python code - it is for illustrative purposes only
while True:
    pass  # Busy-wait for keyboard interrupt (Ctrl+C)
"""

On the other hand -- one could argue that the documentation should not show 
"incorrect" uses of Python syntax at all.
