Small bug in cp(1) man page

At the end of the cp man page, the following line is given :
cd sourcedir; tar cf - . | (cd destdir tar xf -)
Shouldn't that be :
cd sourcedir && tar cf - . | (cd destdir && tar xf -)
Bug 1 : Lack of delimiter between "destdir" and "tar"
Bug 2 : The ; between "sourcedir" and "tar" should be &&, as one wants
the rest of the command to execute only if the first cd succeeds.
