You are correct that train-model.perl script does not use the -lm 
parameter through any of the word alignment or phrase scoring steps. The 
script's step 9 builds a template moses.ini configuration file and 
includes the values from the -lm parameter. At the beginning, the script 
checks that the -lm value points to a non-zero length file. If the file 
is missing or is zero length, the script halts.
