This is not correct.
from the nmap man page:
<snip>
               The -sP option sends an ICMP echo request and a TCP  
packet to
               port 80 by default. When executed by an unprivileged  
user, a SYN
               packet is sent (using a connect() call) to port 80 on the
</snip>

IMHO -sP should respect -p
