It is listed already in the "Additional Modules" section (about line 2940
in release-13.sgml as of right now).  I don't know Bruce's exact reasoning
for not including it in the "Incompatibilities" section, but I tend to
agree that it shouldn't be significant to any real-world user.  I think
that the postgis testing issue you reference is just an ancient test
case that they should drop as no longer relevant.
