I assume he means you should read it *before asking questions*, or at
least before suggesting that something is a [BUG?]. It does
have an index, one entry of which is
7.22 Why do lattice/trellis graphics not work?
Reading the FAQ index is no more work than you are asking other people to
do, and it will get you an answer even faster. Of course, you *did* get
an answer to your question, very quickly, so reading the FAQ may seem
inefficient.

Well, the behaviour predates the R implementation and is described in
help(xyplot). Obviously no-one except you thinks it it fully intuititve,
or it wouldn't be in the FAQ.
