You are correct.

Actually, the theme update guide does not mention html.tpl.php at all. It should. Definitely. This is a major change to the structure of themes and should definitely be mentioned on the theme update guide.

Where is the issue that made the change that defined html.tpl.php? Hmmm... It looks like it was #469242: Move <head> outside page.tpl.php, but due to that issue having over 300 comments, they have filed a separate issue to fix the documentation: #579698: Fix theme update docs so they are correct on what is in page.tpl.php/html.tpl.php

It looks like this issue should have been filed as a comment to that other one, so I'll close this as a duplicate and add it there.
