    That is not a bug, that is expected behavior. You put an app in the dock
    and then deleted the app. the "?" is there to tell you the app you
    placed in the dock cannot be found.

    Correct.

    Same will happen for missing documents (though they are on the other side of >> the Dock).

    This is the expected behavior and has been since at least OS X 10.1.

    Agreed.
