listsinceblock parameter: target-confirmations

listsinceblock help returns:

listsinceblock ( "blockhash" target-confirmations )

Get all transactions in blocks since block [blockhash], or all transactions if omitted

Arguments:
1. "blockhash" (string, optional) The block hash to list transactions since
2. target-confirmations: (numeric, optional) The confirmations required, must be 1 or more

I sent a coin to my wallet and a few seconds later I executed listsinceblock 1. My transaction was just broadcasted so it had 0 confirmations, as expected. Note the target-confirmations parameter above which must be greater than 0 no matter what.

So for my test I executed bitcoin-cli listsinceblock 0000000008eb5d53efbb39d2cb9f595e5bd567c295936de5c2282bbb8ef46cf0 1 which returned:

}

Note that the above transaction has 0 confirmations, however listsinceblock is supposed to operate beyond 1 confirmations (which is weird, as I am polling listsinceblock to get new transactions that are always unconfirmed, after Gavin's tip: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/2171/11221).

What am I missing here?
