OK, this feature is referenced in the Python Library reference here : 

https://docs.python.org/3.2/library/stdtypes.html#typesseq-mutable

not thoroughly referenced but, anyway, referenced.

Good and interesting observation. But I can't find out where this feature is referenced in the Language/Library Reference. Because, as my first post explains, augmented assignment performs the binary operation associated to the augmented assignment, cf. 

https://docs.python.org/3.2/reference/simple_stmts.html#augmented-assignment-statements

so seq+= {5, 6} performs seq + {5, 6}, the later raising a TypeError.
