My guess it is a doc bug since the packages/graph/inc/graphh.inc says
{ 17th april 1999: }
{ * GraphDefaults() would not reset CP }
{ + GetX(), GetY(), MoveTo() checked for viewports }
{ * OutTextXY() should not update the CP }
{ * ClearViewPort() would not update the CP }
{ * ClearDevice() would not update the CP }
{ * Sector() would update the CP by calling LineTo }
{ * Bar3D() would update the CP }
{ * PieSlice() would update the CP
which seems to indicate that not updating the CP (Cursor position) is a
deliberate choice.
That said, maybe nowadays a default parameter can be used to make that
optional.
