Charles Newey added the comment:
Your point about using "pass" with the "with" statement sounds like a better example than using "pass" in a loop.
Perhaps even something like adding a note to the example to clarify it:
"""
# Don't use this in Python code - it is for illustrative purposes only
while True:
pass # Busy-wait for keyboard interrupt (Ctrl+C)
"""
On the other hand -- one could argue that the documentation should not show "incorrect" uses of Python syntax at all.
