Subject: 68040 not object code compatible?

I just got the 68040 User's Manual, and was perusing the appendix which
discusses the various features of the different members of the 68000 family.
In the table on page A-3, the CALLM instruction is shown to be implemented
only on the 68020.  However, on page 1-1, the 68040 is claimed to be
user object code compatible with previous members of the 68000 family.

What gives?  Does the phrase "user object code compatible" mean "mostly
user object code compatible"?
