As you can see I do not yet own Rangoon. I have made 2 deliberate attacks and have had units on the Rangoon hex for a few turns now.

This is stock, Scen 2. v1.0.6.1108r9 (no beta).

This one was fixed quite a while ago in the Beta.

Although I am the relevant player on the Allied side, I did not try to confirm that it was open via supply tallies, I just noted that the display said it was open. When MichaelM (the programmer) fixed it he pretty well implied that the bug was the road actually being open when it should be closed.

So, AFAIK the bug is the road actually being open.

That error in the manual is old news.

Under official patch it is not necessary to have Rangoon

Under beta it is different story
21/10/2012: 1119e - Burma road not open if Rangoon in enemy hands

So it looks like the OP is seeing something WAD, because he admitted to not using the beta.

Historically I think it would be a good idea for the Ledo-Tsuyung connection be in effect starting January 1945 since that's when the Ledo road was completed.

No. There is a bug in official patch. It was fixed in the Beta.

The manual has an error. The game does not replicate the historical road that closely. With all of the different factors involved, they settled on the "Burma Road" going to Rangoon. Several discussions of this can be found by search (I do not have any links to them).
