I've spent some time investigating this, and discovered:

1.  Yes, --linearmatch only matches the previous and next image in the
    stack.
2.  So does --multirow!
3.  This has nothing to do with FreeBSD.  My Microsoft version
    (latest, downloaded from the web site) does exactly the same
    thing.

I've done a bit of looking through the code, but without internals
documentation it's a bit hard to understand.  I've established that
this behaviour occurs at least as far back as 2013 versions (again,
Microsoft, to avoid any misunderstandings).

So: is this intentional?  In that case, it should be documented.  Or
is it accidental?  In that case it should, of course, be fixed.  And
looking at the documentation, how important is the option any more?
