It sort of does, but only if units are being transported by a different
detachment.

Yeah, I missed that one. I thought he stuck all the cavalry daemons in the
one detachment.

I just like the way the quote says I can't have two daemons of slaanesh in
the same detachment. I certainly can according to my army book. The
Khorne/Tzeentch animosity is wrong, as well. And the book shows a picture
of a Lord of Change model and calls it a Bloodthirster. I'd like to know
who proof-read it.
