Nah, that's a documentation bug...

Go for 12.0(21)S5 and be happy with that :-)

(One problem with the documentation on CCO is that it usually ignores
the existance of 12.0S - feature navigator doesn't know it, for example -
and thus people assume they need 12.1E or other nasties)

I'm not sure how good 12.0(22)S and 12.0(23)S are.  Haven't dared to try.

12.0(21)S5 is well-behaving for me (BGP, EIGRP, PIM-SM, MSDP) and 
even seems to have fixed those interface counter bugs.
