should i have all man pages referenced by *other* man pages?

not sure if this question is appropriate for this list, but i'm
reading the man pages for threads, and in "man 7 pthreads", toward the
bottom, there are references to other man page entries:
"... pthread_mutex_lock(3), pthread_mutex_unlock(3) ..."
first, there are no such man pages:
$ man 3 pthread_mutex_lock
No manual entry for pthread_mutex_lock in section 3
$ man 3 pthread_mutex_unlock
No manual entry for pthread_mutex_unlock in section 3
$
also, that list under "SEE ALSO" doesn't mention the closely-related
routine pthread_mutex_trylock().
is this considered a bug? something worth reporting somewhere?
