What about the parameter log_checkpoint_to_alert?

I just noticed that using ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE is not causing a checkpoint. Which cause the last redo group to remain archived but active. I had to force a checkpoint to get it to inactive state. The docs state:
The SWITCH LOGFILE clause lets you explicitly force Oracle to begin writing to a new redo log file group, regardless of whether the files in the current redo log file group are full. When you force a log switch, Oracle begins to perform a checkpoint. Oracle returns control to you immediately rather than when the checkpoint is complete. To use this clause, your instance must have the database open.
But I am sitting here looking tailing my alert log and no checkpoint occurs till I force it. Is this a bug? 8.1.6.0 AIX (I know I am patching soon!)
