It might be good to say that you need min_hpages accounting (min_size mount
option) enabled for this issue to occur. Or, perhaps say this is possible
if a hugetlbfs filesystem is created with the min_size option and without
the size option.
That might better explain the conditions in which a user could see the issue.

I agree that such a combination of mount options is very uncommon.
