I don't think there was any malice here. Just a lack of understanding of the past. A quick email to Aaron would have set them straight.
I think they mean "Remastered, with new remixes that weren't on the original pressing, and on double vinyl" instead of "Remastered, with newly created remixes, and on double vinyl". But yes, they aren't new.
Word is the album is being delayed already. Universal in Canada has moved the clear one ahead to February 15. Universal in the UK has moved the clear one back to March 29, but hasn't moved the black one, and retailers in Germany are listing both versions as March 29. U2.com is still listing February 22 for both, but they are usually slow to update.
In Germany although it is being listed at a variety of shops already with the March 29 date, also being told that the only place to get it will be through Universal in that country. Not sure about elsewhere, but shops like Bullmoose in the USA are showing listings for both, so it should get out to local shops. This early on hard to say for sure though, by the end of next week we should have some clarity on the dates and where it will show up...
