VM 5.31 (beta)

This is from the documentation for the vm-cirular-folders variable.

   A value that is not nil and not t causes only VM's movement
   commands to consider folders circular.  Saves, deletes and undelete
   commands will behave the same as if the value is nil.

I have vm-circular-folders set to 'hello and it does not behave this
way.  (The default is "0" and it doesn't behave properly either.)
Commands only behave as t or nil.  (In this case t)

I checked the code, and I can't find any references to the documented
behavior.

Is this a bug?

If it is a bug (or oversight) in the docs, I would really like this...
