You're right (and thanks for including a reproducible example).  The
writeMM function is writing 0-based indices when they should be
1-based.  Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  It's rather
embarrassing that we didn't create such a test and discover it for
ourselves.

This will be fixed in the next release.
