I think this is an unfortunate wording. It should very likely just serve as a 
hint, i.e. that you do not need any special syntax.

The command is obviously not part of an interactive shell:
I tried htop as the command. When I quit it, it also closes the session. An 
interactive shell would just return to the shell prompt.

If anyone wants to file a bug upstream, file one for the documentation. Since 
there are shells with different behavior depending on interactiveness, it 
should explicitly mention that sessions without command are running a shell, 
i.e. become interactive, sessions having a command will run this command and 
then close, i.e. are non interactive

Cheers,
Kevin
