Thanks. at least one example is good news.

Do all links which appear under one category also appear at their @synonym
category, or does it work more like RT than SYN? I would expect some overlap
between Related Terms.

The question then becomes are they doing something unconventional? Or, in
other words, do the various ThesaurusDesign tools (eg. MultiTes) permit
non-hierarchical synonyms?
