This is true for both the doc string and the Elisp manual. The manual gives `iswitchb-read-buffer' as an example value for the variable. That function has only PROMPT as a require argument, so one might presume that `read-buffer-function' must be a function that accepts at least one string arg, a prompt. But why make us guess? Please be more precise about the requirements.
