I agree, but what would you have the documentation say ?

I quote: "For objects that never get released, this method should return UINT_MAX". So where do you see your bug ?

The bug is in the description, and the expectations it gives rise to.

There should be no need for any of this discussion. As others have also said, you should be thinking simply in terms of ownership, not in terms of whether or not something is autoreleased per se. Changing the documentation will help prevent a counter-productive line of thinking.
