We will change that specific information in the documentation, as it is not quite correct. The percentage value for that situation does get set to a value of 1000, but the background coloring is not occurring (as you have seen) since the diagonal Bid value is 0.

The only solution for this is to set the option for Enable Diagonal Zero Bid/Ask Compares to Yes. When you do this, the denominator is set to a value of 1, which will nearly always result in the Range 3 background coloring being used.
