(elisp) Invisible Text says this for a list value:
 
 Each element of the list specifies a criterion for
 invisibility; if a character's `invisible' property fits any
 one of these criteria, the character is invisible.  The list
 can have two kinds of elements:
 
 `ATOM'
   A character is invisible if its `invisible' property
   value is ATOM or if it is a list with ATOM as a member.
 
 `(ATOM . t)'
   A character is invisible if its `invisible' property
   value is ATOM or if it is a list with ATOM as a member.
   Moreover, a sequence of such characters displays as an
   ellipsis.
  
But the doc string says this:
 
 "a text character is invisible if its `invisible' property is an
  element in that list (or is a list with members in common)."
 
That's not the same thing.  The doc string does not speak to the second case for
the spec, (ATOM . t).  A char with `invisible' property of `foo' is neither a
member of the invisibility spec `((foo . t))' nor is it a list with the element
(foo . t).  Similarly for a char with `invisible' property of (foo).

According to the doc string, to be invisible with that spec, a char would have
to either be (foo . t) or be a list with (foo . t) as an element.

What's more, the doc string does not state that the form of the list elements is
in fact prescribed: ATOM or (ATOM . t).

That symbol no longer seems to exist.  Closing.  If this is still
relevant for some other symbol, please reopen.

There is a typo in the subject line.  It is `buffer-invisibility-spec'.
                                                    ^^

Sorry.  Glenn has apparently blocked me from reopening bugs.

Right.  Fixed on trunk.
