Clear Cache and bug in Clearing Cache for partition

We can Clear Cache by using ClearCache command inXML forAnalysis (XMLA)

for a specified Database,Cube,MeasureGroup ,dimension or partition.

Once we clear the cache analysis servicewill rebuild the cache

We can use this command to check performance testing ofMDX Queries

This gives error

Errors in the metadata manager.The object withID of ‘Internet_Sales_2001’, Name of ‘Internet_Sales_2001’ isof type ‘partition’ which does notsupport the requested operation.

But inBOOKS Online ofSQL Server 2008

ms–help://MS.SQLCC.v10/MS.SQLSVR.v10.en/s10md_2devguide/html/afad5c39–d4c3–4307–b3b9–a06617da0028.htm

It says that we can clear cache of partition also , but while we try to clear partition cache it gives error.

It sounds me like a bug.
