That man1p directory is being searched because of your MANPATH
environment variable or the woman-manpath, woman-man.conf-path, or
woman-path Emacs Lisp variables.  If you examine their values, you can
determine which one is responsible.

But if man1p and man1 are siblings of a common parent directory, you
might not be able to exclude the former from the search path and still
include the latter by frobbing those variables.  So you would have to
resort to something like this:

(defadvice woman-expand-directory-path (after man1p activate)
   "Exclude \"/usr/man/man1p\"."
   (setq ad-return-value
	(delete "/usr/man/man1p" ad-return-value)))
