I suspect the intent was that a value of "true" should be conveyed in some way to the user (i.e., the element is current), but that a value of false should not be conveyed at all. That is, if the element is not current, don't present anything to the user. The absence of aria-current and aria-current="false" would therefore be indistinguishable in the user interface.
