The relevant code is at 
http://selenic.com/repo/hg/file/a43fdf33a6be/hgext/convert/filemap.py#l103 
. It confirms that rename info only is considered if the includes and 
excludes let the file be converted. I guess you are right that the wiki 
is wrong.

Please consider contributing an improvement to the help if you have 
ideas to how it can be described in a simpler and clearer way.
