It isn't a bug, it is a deliberately implemented behavior. See also
bug#15783.

In the ELisp manual, type "i text area of a window RET" and read there.
I've now made changes there to make clear that the header-line and the
tab-line _are_ included in the text area.

Yes. As it should.

Done on the emacs-28 branch.

What about the tab-line (which AFAIU was the trigger for this bug)?

That'd be going overboard. We could place a cross-reference in some
of those places to the "Frame Layout" node, though. Suggestions for
such places are welcome.
