I guess it'd be a documentation bug (there are no flags in the source).

d.legend can do that...

For most commands, doing:

$ g.command help

will generate a short help on usage, and is the definitive source 'cause
it comes straight from the program.  Some of the GRASS contributors may
not speak/write very good English and hence some help documents don't
get updated to reflect changes in the program.

In this particular case, I don't see much benefit of this version of
d.leg.thin comparing to d.legend (in fact d.legend seems more useful). I
wonder if there wasn't some kind of accident here...
