I think a clarification is needed and, indeed, part of the problem is mine.  
When I speak of the Krüger solution I am referring to the Taylor series as 
expressed by PD Thomas "Conformal Projections in Geodesy and Cartography 
(1952), p. 2-3, which form the basis for standard TM as used in UTM and other 
grid system applications and is what is implemented in libproj4.  In some 
cases, the series is truncated even further.  I have not seen the Krüger 
paper but assumed it was somewhat similar to Thomas and represented the same 
basic solution.  Perhaps we/i should refer to tmerc as the Thomas TM--- 
the 't' in tmerc is for Thomas.
