I feel your pain.
Here is another I noticed recently.
Warning: minor spoilers ahead
Somewhere near Reapers Coast cemetery (Stonegarden) you find a stray dog that will disease you after doing the talking. In the Disease status tooltip it states that it can be removed by a certain number of things, RESTORATION among them if I am not mistaken. I did just that (with my cleric) and it wasn't removed at all. Maybe it was referring to Ranger's Healing ability (which worked btw) but I re-read the tooltip several times to be sure.
And I am pretty sure there are lots of misleading descriptions all over the game.
Thanks for reporting.
