Without having studied this in issue in detail I think it just
ENOTIME, at least it seems like something that should be fixed, though
I haven't checkked out the issue to know what the correct fix is. I
would suggest just submitting a patch as a PR the way you think it
should be fixed.  It would of course be even better if you could get a
content review from somebody who knows the time code.

In general the FAQ needs a major overhaul...
