Hmm.  Maybe it still needs the EXPERIMENTAL warning.

I have not tried the caca terminal for a while, but here is what I see
when testing -rc2:

driver type raw:	Segfaults immediately
				(divide-by-zero because height and width are 0)
driver type ncurses:	Many garbage characters in output stream
                                (incorrect handling of TERM setting?)
driver type x11:	Font problems, many characters appear as 
				an empty box.  Usable but could be better.

I have lib64caca0-0.99-0.beta18.10
Do you have a more recent version?

In any case I will make sure the documentation is included in the 
user manual for 5.2
