That new paragraph on ITL 102 isn't nearly as comprehensive as the original one I quoted above.

In particular, changing options to Defend after moving up to half MA appears to be illegal except for the explicit example in that original paragraph, as does Drop.

And nothing else in the rules anywhere clarifies the system as succinctly as the one statement: "If you moved 0 or 1 hex, you may switch to any option you could have taken when the turn began". That's an important principle that covers all the options without needing examples.

Heck, that paragraph should be retained in Legacy editions because it was just brilliant writing by Steve Jackson, and it's historically significant to TFT's legacy.
