That text that confused you is pertinent to the Disk First Aid 
"Repair Disk" function at the lower right. The Verify/Repair 
Permissions functions on the left are not governed by that rule but 
by the limitation that "You may only repair permissions on a Mac OS X 
boot volume". The first two paragraphs are not relevant to the 
permissions...
