It's neither a bug nor undocumented.
"info ls" would have told you the following:
The permissions listed are similar to symbolic mode
specifications
(*note Symbolic Modes::.). But `ls' combines multiple bits into
the third character of each set of permissions as follows:
`s'
If the setuid or setgid bit and the corresponding executable
bit are both set.
`S'
If the setuid or setgid bit is set but the corresponding
executable bit is not set.
`t'
If the sticky bit and the other-executable bit are both set.
`T'
If the sticky bit is set but the other-executable bit is not
set.
`x'
If the executable bit is set and none of the above apply.
`-'
Otherwise.
