And what is the regression being done in this case?  How are the
independent  variables used?

It looks like M[,5]~M[,1]+M[,2]+M[,3]+M[,4] as those are the
coefficients.   But the results are different when I do that explicitly:

> M <- matrix(runif(5*20), nrow=20)
> colnames(M) <- c('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e')
> l1 <- lm(df[,'e']~., data=df)
> summary(l1)

Call:
lm(formula = df[, "e"] ~ ., data = df)

Residuals:
       Min         1Q     Median         3Q        Max
