That's worrying. So maybe it doesn't exist ? 

When I look at TableModelEvent docs it also says at the VERY BEGINNING of the class docs .. 
/**
 * TableModelEvent is used to notify listeners that a table model
 * has changed. The model event describes changes to a TableModel
 * and all references to rows and columns are in the co-ordinate
 * system of the model.

So at the very least then these docs would be wrong too !?!?

I think look at the code that does "new TableModelEvent(...") and it is in methods caller fireTableCellUpdated() which is defined on the TableModel. 

So it goes back to what I said to you earlier (somewhere) - don't just trust what is written in a bug report - verify it.

So I think you should do some more looking at code and actual testing to verify.
Using RowSorter  and/or dragging rows around ...
