      TRUNCATE TABLE on a versioned table removes all table contents, including historical records. I can only assume it's expected behavior, I can't find it documented anywhere in the KB, and there is no MTR test for TRUNCATE – I found only one test which uses the command, partition.test, but it does not check the result of truncation, it only executes the statement as a regression test for a crash.

      If it works as designed, please add a test and have it documented. If not, then please fix.
