This issue has come up in the EBU (for instance at TD training weekends) for 
1997 laws.

The instruction to TD on EBU practice is that although the insufficient 1H is 
not UI, we adjust under Law27B1(b) as if the insufficient bid was UI.  

So when the auction 1H -(P)- 1H occurs, and the insufficient bidder has had it
explained what will happened if he bids 2H, then he will usually choose to bid
4H (or 6H or whatever).

I have never been happy with this interpretation, so it is entirely possible 
I am misrepresenting the EBU position.
