No, image height is not "captured." Neither the ears nor the microphones
have any mechanism to detect height. It is strictly a pinna effect wherein
certain frequencies seem to sound above where they should be. At the live
event you don't hear this because your eyes override the effect. On
playback, it often sems like the horns are higher than the rest of the
instruments.
Then perhaps you can tell me why multimiked recordings of symphony orchestras
NEVER exhibit that phenomenon, but true minimalist stereo recordings always do?
I can make it happen on a spotmiked recording, if you like. It's a trick,
but it's not that hard a trick.
It's true that most of the time it appears in minimalist recordings, it is
an artifact of the room, though.
