Docs just need to be updated (done) - this is a copy+paste problem when we
wrote it into Bio::SeqFeatureI (as we don't assume that all
Bio::SeqFeatureI implementors will allow you to reset the location
object).

You're of course more than welcome to do
 % perldoc -m Bio::SeqFeature::Generic
at any time to see an implementation.
