I'm marking my bug report as a duplicate of this one. Here was the description (with a link to a (kind of) specification stating that P field might be payee OR description) :

When importing a qif file from my bank, description of the transaction are imported as "Payee" in HomeBank.
When looking at the file, I can see this text as the letter 'P' in the qif format.
These are "Non-investment transaction format", so P stands as Payee/Description, according to http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash/branches/1.8/src/import-export/qif-import/file-format.txt

Then I cannot use the information to auto-assign a category latter... (see bug #493162)

A solution would be to let the user choose between Payee or Description when importing a Non-investment transaction from a qif file, as the format does not differanciate between the two.
