It isn't a bug but rather doc errata. What help says is inapplicable to a form. A form has SHOW() and HIDE() methods to control it's visibilty which should be used instead of Visible property. During form instantiation the following sequence of events and methods fire:
Load
Init
Show
Activate
GotFocus
The one of particular interest is SHOW() method which sets Visible property of the form to True if it was False and activates the form.
