I appreciate that Richmond may have is answer but if you are aware of
something that is in contradiction to the official documentation it would
good if you could post a Bug report.

The Dictionary entry is quite clear about the syntax:

read from {file pathName | stdin} [at start] {until {string | end | EOF |
empty} | for amount [chunkType]} [in time]

so:

... until string

... until end

... until EOF

... until empty

are all listed as valid syntax.
