I only saw a misunderstanding of how man pages impart information.

I'm not in the habit of reading HTML but I went to your reference
and it looks like your quotation is rendered as:
REPORTING BUGS
GNU coreutils online help: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/>
This is exactly what's written at the end of the local man page too.
Clicking on this link takes me (after allowing an automatic redirect) to:
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/coreutils.html
where there's a bug reporting section a little over halfway down the page:
Bug Reports
If you think you have found a bug in Coreutils, then …

Why? Where is the "ls" string missing from?

You can compare the webpage above with the output of
$ man ls
yourself at any time of day.
