The keymap needn't have a name. It can just be a keymap object (in which case displaying it would be ugly). You could certainly make a case that where there is a symbol, it could usefully be displayed as well. You could M-x report-emacs-bug if you can't find an existing one.

Wow, this is a really good answer too, showing just the doc that I was interested in seeing. It seems like I need to know the name of the keymap in order to search for the doc for it, but that was one of my stumbling blocks. Why doesn't describe-keybindings give the name of the bound keymap instead of (the almost useless) "Prefix Command"? How can I reliably get from the "Prefix Command" that I see to the name of the keymap? (I ended up doing a brute force manual search of the output of (describe-prefix-keybindings) to see which keys were bound, and then working backwards.
