It looks like zerofix operates on the formatted value, which in turn is implemented via:

	$out =~ s/\b0(\d)\b/$1/g if $opt->{zerofix};

So this will only remove leading zeros if the final output value matches that regex, which is dependent on word breaks.  %P I assume in this case is alpha-numeric, not digits.  (My system strftime() has %p but not %P).  Definitely unintuitive behavior, but not sure what the best fix would be in general; maybe remove the trailing \b from the regex?
