This question had this comment:

Voted to close as off topic (too basic). – Tsuyoshi Ito 43 mins ago

I therefore assume at least one close vote was cast for this question. As of the moment of writing this, the question is not (yet) closed.

According to this page, I should be able to view close votes. They even show a screenshot where this should appear. However, I don't see any such option appearing for me at that question, and I can't remember ever having seen that option appear on any question I've viewed.

Am I doing something wrong here?

This is not a bug, the privilege you have linked to means that you can see the close votes for your own questions.

Part of it reads as

You may also cast a close or reopen vote on your questions. With the close/reopen vote privilege, you'll be able to see (and cast) close and reopen votes on all questions.

and that requires +3000 reputation.

In brief, the behavior is correct, and the the description of the privilege itself is not well worded. This discussion on meta.SO details the issue.
