That's right. Remember that the main use of this feature (in C programs
at least) is to redisplay the command's name in a "usage" statement,
with the proper paramers with which the command is supposed to be
invoked. It would be a little shocking for a user to type in
   somecommand --help

and be greeted with:
   q:/dira/dirb/dirc/dird/XYZ.exe arg1...
