I'm not getting what I expect for case "c". This case should be "ScaleX,ScaleY Angle", but looks like "X,Y Angle". Would someone please run and confirm?

EDIT: Simplified test and added image.

It is X,Y Angle!
See IM Examples, SRT distort...
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/distorts/#srt

Basically when 3 values are provided it assumes you have given it the center coordinates (control point) for the rotation, not separate X,Y scaling factors.

However you can simply substitute '%[fx:w/2],%[fx:h/2]' for those values (center point of image - may be a floating point number!), to make it a 5 value SRT distortion. That is...
-distort SRT '%[fx:w/2],%[fx:h/2] 1,0.5 5'

Remember coordinate values are in Image Coordinates. meaning that the top left edge is 0,0 but the center of the top left pixels is 0.5,0.5 If you want to rotate around a actual pixel, then the coordinate will be X+0.5,Y+0.5 See
Image Coordinates vs Pixel Coordinates

Should I contact someone (who and how) about this documentation error?

is in conflict with

Using -set option:distort:scale, can separate x & y scaling factors be specified?

Hmmm it seems that the offical documentation has it wrong. I will fix that.

The documentation is correct in the source and on IM Examples, just wrong on the command line options site. -- Fixed give it s few hours for various web caches to update.
