No need to apologize - there is an ever-present possibility that 
I was simply being dense.

I don't think there is anything misleading in the LRM.  But there is 
nothing I could find that explicitly says where or how a covergroup
stores the history needed for transition coverage.  I had - wrongly,
but perhaps understandably - assumed that a covergroup with
per_instance==0 has only one static set of bins for all its
 instances, and that led me to question whether the transition
 history was type-wide.

The new LRM text relating to merge_instances leaves
little room for doubt.

Thanks again to everyone for your patience.
