I seem to recall that this ValueError behavior was discussed at some length and it is the desired behavior.  (At some previous point I think everything after the NUL was ignored.)  I'm not really sure why it needs to be documented either, NULs are invalid in filenames, aren't they?  Or are there some OSes that allow them?
