I don't know much about Luke. May be Luke is not showing tokens at the same

You can see/check your synonyms in /admin/analysis.jsp page. Output of the
tokenizer and token filters.
Synonym injection works fine with multiValued=false which is default behavior.
"1.1: multiValued attribute introduced, false by default" from schema.xml
Hope this helps.
