I quite agree with you. It is also the way I understood it, with the
automatic removal of the -3d. 

Only a tiny glitch there, I suppose you guessed it was written

SCHEDULED: <2013-02-01 Fri +1m -3d>

and not 

SCHEDULED: <2013-02-01 Fri +1w -3d>

Because your description is about a monthly repeated event while the
example shows a weekly event.

It is really nothing but I think someone might find it confusing.
