Hmm - I don't know much about the background, but wasn't
`set-default-toplevel-value' invented to make just that work? See
commit
a104f656c8 Make defvar affect the default binding outside of any let.

AFAIU this bug report is a request to (1) correct some docstrings and
(2) use `set-default-toplevel-value' instead of `set-default' at more
places in custom.el to assign values, where appropriate.
Michael.
