No, I think it is intentional (Bob probably can tell us for sure).
A.13(15) is a "documentation requirement"; Annex M lists
"implementation-defined characteristics". They're not the same.

Annex M also omits some of the other core "documentation requirements"
(J.7.1(12-13); A.5.2(44); as well as A.13(15)) but also includes others
(A.5.2(45), 13.11(22)), so it hard to tell what the intent is. (This is
also true for the specialled needs annexes; a large number of the
"documentation requirements" are not included in Annex M.)

I think this will have to be taken to the ARG for a (short) discussion,
so the editor (me) can determine what fix is appropriate.
