It seems to be documented this way in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/join.html, so I suppose technically it's a feature request more than a bug. As such, setting the Fixed version to 10.x.

Yes, the documentation matches the parser code ...

For the STRAIGHT_JOIN part i might agree with feature request as this is a MySQL specific extension, it would add consistency though and allow for simply replacing a JOIN with a STRAIGHT_JOIN optimizer hint in every context without having to rewrite NATURAL JOIN or JOIN ... USING() into an equivalent JOIN ... ON clause first.

The NATURAL INNER JOIN part is improving compliance with the SQL standard though ... ( https://kb.askmonty.org/en/syntax-rules/ )
