No, I think the meaning is "None of the known bugs are undocumented".
There is an important distinction between "documented" and "fixed".
As the time for release approaches, it is often better to document
a bug than to fix it (depending on severity).  That which we change,
we break, and in the end game there may be insufficient testing for
side effects of the last few changes.
