makecontext was removed from POSIX after deprecation, instead of being
clarified.

I thought I have not to khow how any functions work BEFORE reading their POSIX
definitions (man pages). 

I do not see how to understand this usage limitation from the existing text if
the reader does not know implementation details. 

POSIX follows a very good rule to explicitly specify any usage limitation and
here is an obvious violation of the rule.

No.  You just don't understand how these functions work.

I do not see such restriction for applications neither in POSIX nor in man pages.

Should it be a bug in POSIX?

This code is invalid.  It just works by accident.  You cannot leave the call
frame you try to reinstate.
