I think so, yes.  The problem seems to be in FilesCheck.py where too
many checks use a regexp based heuristic [0] for deciding whether
something is a doc file, but should base that decision on whether the
file is actually marked as %doc in the package.  Will take a closer
look.

[0] ^/usr(/share|/X11R6)?/(doc|man|info)/, which misses 
    your /usr/share/texmf/doc/... test case
