`M-x occur RET 11 C-q C-j 11 RET' finds four matches (lines 1 through 4)
which seems logical to me.
`M-x how-many RET 11 C-q C-j 11 RET' (with point at bob) finds two matches.
One function looks for lines that match, while the other finds
matches, so it is natural that they may differ.
It is not a bug, and I don't see why we need to change the
documentation either.
