Seems like bit rot to me from a time before checkdoc. You have apparently looked into the code in detail, but you might also want to do a google search for "lm-verify", to see who might be using it. There seem to be hits that mention using both `lm-verify' and `checkdoc'. Such uses might all be obsolete or unnecessary now, but it might still be worth it to check. (I don't use it, and I know nothing about it.) HTH.
