The test calls make-network-process, not open-network-stream, so
altering the documentation of the latter doesn't seem appropriate.

As for make-network-process, it's already documented there:

:service SERVICE -- SERVICE is name of the service desired, or an
integer specifying a port number to connect to.  If SERVICE is t,
a random port number is selected for the server.  A port number can
be specified as an integer string, e.g., "80", as well as an integer.

So unless I'm misreading this bug report (which is possible, it's a bit
involved) there's nothing more to do here, and I'm closing this bug
report.
