The help is correct. When you do ":set path<" it copies the global
value to the global value and makes the local value empty. Thus the
local value then follows the global value.
I can see why you are confused. This text should be better:
:se[t] {option}< For |global-local| options: Remove the local value of
{option}, so that the global value will be used.
