I don't see the problem here.... because the man page also says 
"mount.nfs4 is used for mounting NFSv4 file system" which
is the case.

Maybe we need to import the upstream patch:

commit d1f6583a5ff32711a1da1d4a13a29a5700f63504

    mount.nfs.man, nfs.man: Update distinction between fstypes
    
    From: Ben Hutchings <ben.uk>
    
    this is a resync of the man page updates in the Debian
    package with mainline nfs-utils.
    
    Acked-By: J. Bruce Fields <bfields>
    Signed-off-by: Steve Dickson <steved>

And then the mount.nfs(8) will look like:
"Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions.  Under earlier Linux kernel versions, mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2."

Have checked the man page is updated as expected.
Move this bug on to VERIFIED.

NAME
       mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System

SYNOPSIS
       mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]

DESCRIPTION
       mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.

       mount.nfs  is  meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a stand‐
       alone command with limited functionality.

       remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share.	 dir is the directory on which the file system	is  to
       be mounted.

       Under  Linux  2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions.  Under earlier Linux kernel versions,
       mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2.
