This seems like an implementation issue (aka bug) with the SA to me.

It states that it's ignored and a value of 1 is used.  What else would a
NumbPath value of 1 mean if it's completely ignored?  I consider this a spec
bug.  :)

>From an implementation view, requiring users to use SubnAdmGetTable to get a
single path record is less efficient than returning a single PR from SubnAdmGet.

How have other SM implementations (not based on opensm) interpreted NumbPath for
PR SubnAdmGet?
