Obviously I agree because I started a thread with that as a sort of base interpretation. But several other frequent posters had other interpretations, including at least one experienced player who was absolutely convinced that RAW could only be read as saying you can run straight up to someone and jump on them, from the front, in the movement phase. So, for that person at last SJ's semi-official comments are a revision.

By the way, that is a great find reminding us that Melee treats the push back differently than ITL. I think a good ruling would be to permit either option: you can push back and stay in your hex, not trampling but potentially attacking a foe who falls, or you can push back and follow, possibly over running and trampling (but not attacking with a weapon, since they are inside your melee range)
