I think it would be better if this information appears not only in elisp manual, but also in docstring of 'max-specpdl-size' as well, if the increment cannot be avoided. I now see that with "this information" you meant that entry to the Lisp debugger increases the value. It would do no harm to mention this it the docstring. However, I believe that the current docstring already makes clear that `max-specpdl-size' is no hard limit. Sincerely, Luc.
