The sentence is vague; "1abc234" is not a decimal number, and it says
nothing about converting strings to decimal by suffix truncation.
Here's another oddity:
% i 0b1111
15 0xF 017 0b1111
% i 0b1111z
30 0x1E 036 0b11110
% i 0b1111zz
60 0x3C 074 0b111100 '<'
% i 0b111111111zz
2044 0x7FC 03774 0b11111111100
That's not truncation.
