Is there actually any point to the %px at all?

Why not remove it? the _real_ information is printed out by %pSR, and
that's both sufficient and useful in ways %px isn't.

and here, is the pointer actually interesting, or should we just give
the offset to the allocation?

But if the pointer is interesting, then ack.
