I'm not sure how your conclusion matches with what Jonathon said. 
History:

a Mixin Template was once a template which was mixed in. The 
syntax "mixin template {}" did not exist.

It was realized that one would not design templates which made 
sense to mixin or be used as a regular template, so it was 
suggested to require declaring the mixin explicitly at the 
template declaration.

The "mixin template {}" syntax was added, it seems to have only 
required the use of mixing in, the original "template {}" was 
left alone probably for backwards compatibility.

Looks like docs were updated to the expected definition, but 
implementation was not made to match.
