With the previous adjustment the arguments were boxed into one extra
array. This actually makes the parameter work (with the same caveats).

The manpage is also updated with the limitations.

Fix a bug in LUInstanceMove

The opcode parameter ignore_consistency was used in the LU, but not
actually declared in the OpCode. The patch adds it in the opcode and
