Broken validation endpoint results (NEAR)

Question

There are two ways to ask for current validators:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "dontcare",
  "method": "validators",
  "params": [null]
}

and

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "dontcare",
  "method": "validators",
  "params": {"latest": null}
}

both will produce the same output e.g.

{...
"epoch_start_height": 74490691,
...}

but if you try to get a list of validators per epoch

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "dontcare",
  "method": "validators",
  "params": {
    "epoch_id": "D8ooGFX5qJ2Ysmwi9VmSWQusxG1onDp72RS8ggMUA7i7"
  }
}

one above will produce proper data

{...
"epoch_start_height": 74490691,
...}

but:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": "dontcare",
  "method": "validators",
  "params": ["D8ooGFX5qJ2Ysmwi9VmSWQusxG1onDp72RS8ggMUA7i7"]
}

will fail, producing:

{...
"epoch_start_height": 74404291,
...}

When I did all the requests the current epoch was D8ooGFX5qJ2Ysmwi9VmSWQusxG1onDp72RS8ggMUA7i7

which suggests that the last call :

    {
      "jsonrpc": "2.0",
      "id": "dontcare",
      "method": "validators",
      "params": ["D8ooGFX5qJ2Ysmwi9VmSWQusxG1onDp72RS8ggMUA7i7"]
    }

is broken? There is nothing about it here https://docs.near.org/api/rpc/network#validation-status Is the documentation wrong or am I unaware of something else?
