They are clearly not line numbers. Additional remark: from simpler examples. it appears that they are _intended_ to be line numbers. If so, this is a bug. Yes, it seems to be a bug in counting the line numbers. Could you fix that too? Of course, it could simply count lines from the beginning to each matching line, each time; but that would be terribly inefficient in a large buffer.
