It was added on 14-Feb-2002, rev 3.122 of jsapi.c.  It has therefore 
been in JS 1.5 RC4a, RC5, and RC5a.

Sorry for the lack of doc update.  It's easy to use, if you know the 
rest of the API.  See 
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/src/jsapi.h#911 (or a 
permalink: 
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/search?string=JS_ConstructObjectWithArg):

JS_ConstructObjectWithArguments(JSContext *cx, JSClass *clasp,
                                 JSObject *proto, JSObject *parent,
                                 uintN argc, jsval *argv);

The first four arguments are the same as those to JS_ConstructObject. 
The argc and argv params are familiar from the native method (JSNative) 
and JS_CallFunction* APIs.
