On man find you had better add some more explanation to

              %H     Command line argument under which file was found.

              %P     File's name with the name of the  command  line  argument
                     under which it was found removed.

else nobody knows what you are talking about.

Here's what I would expect with the current wording:
# find -maxdepth 1 -printf %H\\n
-maxdepth 1 -printf %H\n
-maxdepth 1 -printf %H\n
-maxdepth 1 -printf %H\n
