I think you're right, but it's @table not @multitable.

I've not done a test, but I think in @table the first
of the two items /must/ be on the same line as @item and
the second starts a new line.

In @multitable, @tab starts the second and subsequent
lines so here the distinction between the items is clear
and I don't think the positioning is important.
