right, like one true windows (emoticon for barf)
I attached a test script that spans the xpg variants per <sys/features_tests.h>
the test output on a solaris 10 sun4 machine is

there is a mismatch between xpg4 compiled user programs and
/usr/xpg4/bin/getconf
maybe I didn't get the feature test macros right for xpg4/xpg4v2?
could you run the script on a solaris 11 machine and post the output
it is getting a bit clearer:
a user application with PATH=$(getconf PATH) can use getconf to
check the parameters for any other utility/application on $PATH
but once PATH is modified, some utilities/applications may not
correspond to getconf
