In the docs about the hint field it says:
“renders inside a hint container that can be dismissed by the user.”
But the field appears like this, without any visible way to dismiss it:
Am I missing something? Is this a bug in the code or in the documentation?

You can always do a partial and use the first snippet on the link above
There are dismissable examples in some of the RainLab plugins, I think. We may need need to introduce this feature within the hint/comment examples as an option.
I think I didn’t express my concerns right. My problem is that I DON’T WANT that this particular hint field that I’m developing right now can be dismissed, I need it to be always there. The docs say that it should be dismissable, so I was worried that this behaviour is considered as a bug, and a future update allows the user to dismiss it. So if you fix it, please make it an option, and not dismissable by default! 
That’s exactly what Sam mentioned — it should be introduced as an option. And that’s usually how it’s done: new features are added in a way that doesn’t alter existing behavior, so current implementations remain unaffected.
