The docs for String#slice! say, "The forms that take a Fixnum will raise
an IndexError if the value is out of range."
Perhaps the docs are describing what the documenter hoped would be implemented. My C is very rusty, but I don't see anything in string.c related to slice! that would raise errors for that.
I'd mention the bug on the ruby-core or ruby-doc lists (depending on whether the code or documentation is perceived to be at fault).

Neither do I.

Roger that. I'll file a bug report.
