I don't think a lack of feature is a bug, there are a ton of other unsupported things. The VF code should work (or was close to it and @jmg was working on it at Juniper) so this may add rather than remove confusion.

What can I do to make this acceptable to you? I feel very strongly that documenting that this is not implemented (if it is truly not implemented, which it seems to be) will save people time and inform purchasing decisions. We document missing hardware features widely in our manuals, and mdoc(7) recommends it (limitations):
CAVEATS Common misuses and misunderstandings should be explained in this section. BUGS Known bugs, limitations, and work-arounds should be described in this section.

Look at one of the data sheets and you will find about equal number of unsupported features as supported features, neither class is documented exhaustively nor would that information overload be particularly helpful.
The fundamental problem is it's not factual, hence the comment to talk to @jmg.
