Knights in chess don't have facing, so I assume that's not a problem here. But that could be another limitation; in tactical combat, it might cost you some Move to face the right way before porting. If you were so limited, you'd also have the possibilities of "Left-Handed L Only" or "Right-Handed L Only", which is to say one specific hex given your facing, two or three hexes away (pre-selected in the most stringent case).
I gathered that the idea was to limit the number of potential destinations at the range extent, much like a knight in chess cannot (in one move) reach every square two spaces away from it.
