wrong-- so either the code or the docs should be fixed, and it looks like it's the code that should be fixed to me. 
Should it be bug or v14 feature?

Also pgstatfuncs.c contains a lot more checks of has_privs_of_role(GetUserId(), beentry->st_userid).
Maybe grant them all?

(e.g.have a "bool has_stats_privilege" or such), but perhaps that's an unnecessary micro-optimization, like the
attached.

Looks good to me.

Thanks!
