The value section is like the \arguments section, there's an implicit
\describe around everything.

That looks like a bug: you should have got nothing for the second arg
(or an error/warning that it was missing).

The itemize style of list has zero-arguments on \item. So that's really
a bug if "Numeric scalar..." is showing up here.

If you want a \describe style of list, just enter items as
\item{name}{description}
If you want an itemize style of list, enter it as
\itemize{
\item content
\item more content
}
Thanks for the report...
