In general, LINENO handling is inconsistent among shells.  The presence of
single vs. multi-line constructs, eval, here-docs, and shell functions
cause different shells to give different values to LINENO.  For more
documentation on this, see:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Special-Shell-Variables.html#Special-Shell-Variables

and this update to the documentation source, detailing even more
inconsistencies:
