Re: <<may not be a p'sik (I've also been told such about the 
line following a munach l'garmeih>>

Without the pasek of the legarmei it would not be a legarmei 
but an ordiinary munach, ilui or karbolta.

Just as two symbols are used in ta'amei emet to indicate a 
single ta'am, so the legarmei is indicated by two symbols to 
identify it as different from the other t'amim that use the 
inverse L, munach symbol.

The pasek's integration into the legarmei symbol might be 
justification for the comment that it is not officially a 
pasek.
