Sorry, I was a bit hasty with my wording. I do understand that the multiignore flag is on the implementation side of things. And I appreciate you tracking down the source of the inconsistency I noticed. I could recompile vim with your change, but at this point, I'm not sure what I would learn because I'm no longer what is *supposed* to be happening.
As much as I'd like to believe otherwise, I have an ever-growing suspicion that the errorformat mechanism is in fact just a pile of ad-hoc hacks without any consistent meaning. And if that's true, it's not a good use of my time to try to sort it out. I'm better off writing a special-purpose tool from scratch.
