But the man page doesn't just say "equivalent", it says "equivalent (as far as the above execution of cmd is concerned". And the whole paragraph is clearly just talking about the environment passed to an executed program. The evaluation of a command's arguments is all done as a separate thing. If you can think of some better wording which doesn't clutter it up and detract from the main point that is being made then I'll put it forward to upstream.
