That's because by default that argument is ignored.

Is it really useful?  I believe read-char-choice-with-read-key is kept
for possible backward compatibility; new Lisp programs that want to
use read-char-choice-with-read-key should just call it directly, and
in its doc string this argument is documented.

So I'm not sure we should do anything about this issue.
