I looked into this. The text reads:

If successfully created, a named prepared-statement object lasts till
the end of the current session, unless explicitly destroyed. An unnamed
prepared statement lasts only until the next Parse statement specifying
the unnamed statement as destination is issued.

While the first statement does say "named", the next sentence says
"unnamed", so I am not sure we can make this any clearer.
