It looks to me like it's a documentation bug (if that).
The intent of the properties seems reasonably clear -- to allow hooks to
be called when point moves across a _boundary_ in the text -- and the
interpretation you apparently want doesn't even make much sense.[*]
[*] The two properties will almost always be different from each other
(because it's presumably desirable for different actions to take place
upon entry and exit from a block of text), so your [apparent]
interpretation would result in them being called for all movement, even
within a region, and that contracts the names of the properties.
