I expect he's already read that (and maybe even the linked reference material), 
and is asking how to reconcile that with the
observed behavior of the interpreter:

Others have observed the same inconsistencies:

One thing I noticed in Ambrus' example is that the matrix is diagonally 
symmetric:

         viewmat (~.@,i.]) <. 0j0+ j./~i:1e_13j200  [ require 'viewmat'

so the "messiness" might be simply describable, after all.
