https://play.golang.org/p/ZTGD0NwNsfQ

	untypedNil := Typ[UntypedNil]
	error := Universe.Lookup("error").Type().Underlying().(*Interface)
	fmt.Println(Implements(untypedNil, error))   // "false"
	fmt.Println(AssignableTo(untypedNil, error)) // "true"

This seems like at least a documentation issue.

Closing after offline discussion with gri. The comment I proposed to add to Implements:

// Untyped nil is assignable to any interface, but implements only the empty interface.

would only be repeating what the spec already says.
