Yes, that is an error, caused by a remenant of an earlier rendering of the
task API, where list_task used to return cookie IDs of task instead of
task instances.  The problem was noted by others (Ceriel) before, but we
did not see the urge for another errata revision of the spec, yet.

Thanks, Andre.
