This is not the case, instead they are discarded. In effect this means that no "changed" events are emitted on the device itself by default. While each discovered partition does trigger a changed event on the device, devices without partitions don't have any event emitted. This makes udev miss the device creation and prompted workarounds in userspace. See the linked util-linux/losetup bug. Explicitly emit the events and drop the confusingly worded comments.
