Here is what it says: Timer functions should normally not alter the current buffer contents, That is correct; I don't see a reason to change it. The manual is not supposed to describe every possible exception to the rules that could be made to work. That would make the manual too big, too complicated, and too hard to read for ordinary purposes.
