I think the free m-w.com (10th ed.) doesn't have it, but the $15/yr

That's what I was expecting, but I just got the renewal notice, and
when I went to the site the amount was 14.95 crossed out, followed by
9.95.

merriam-webstercollegiate.com (11th) has a help section that defines
all the terms and practices of the dictionary. About "also" in
definitions, they say:

The 10th does, too. Click "HELP", then "Explanatory Notes to the
Dictionary", and you get to

http://www.m-w.com/help/dictnotes.htm

Clicking on "Definitions" takes you to

http://www.m-w.com/help/dictnotes/def.htm

which has identical wording to the 11th:

The sense divider also is used to introduce a
meaning that is closely related to but may be
considered less important than the preceding sense:

chi·na . . . noun . . . 1 : PORCELAIN; also :
vitreous porcelain wares (as dishes, vases, or
ornaments) for domestic use
