Are we looking at different section of the manual?  The rest of the node
(for me) just says:

---
This function gives each of the first ten characters in the buffer a
‘display’ property which is a string ‘"A"’, but they don’t all get the
same string object.  The first two characters get the same string
object, so they are replaced with one ‘A’; the fact that the display
property was assigned in two separate calls to ‘put-text-property’ is
irrelevant.  Similarly, the next two characters get a second string
(‘concat’ creates a new string object), so they are replaced with one
‘A’; and so on.  Thus, the ten characters appear as five A’s.
