I'd file a bug against that documentation (link?). Because the zoom and minimize boxes certainly still work, the path popup when command-clicking the window title too, as does resizing a window using the grow box or the window edges, depending on which MacOS version you're running under.
Try it: Open an RTF file in TextEdit, choose "Make Plain Text" from the "Format" menu, then try what you can do to the window.
That said, I doubt there's any supported (not to mention documented) way to make the close box work while a sheet is up. If someone finds out, I'd love to know how I can do that. I have a custom window where I'd want to achieve standard behaviour by making my (fake) zoom and minimize boxes work while a sheet is up.
