It was probably just an omission.

Note that TRUNCATE currently does not act on inheriting tables.  In other 
words, the behavior is already like ONLY.

FWIW, the SQL standard says that TRUNCATE should support ONLY, just like 
DELETE.

Something should probably be fixed or at least documented about this.
