That statement dosn't say leopard is not compatible with Tiger. It says exactly what it means. That some of the applications written by others may be a problem because of the way the new OS is written and may require modification. That is so typical with Mac. OS upgrades it not even funny. This article goes on to state at the outset that for many users the upgrade feature will be OK. But for others a cleaner install may be the best ticket.
As for me and others who use the Mac for some serious stuff other than writting letters and other personal use we need to be very pragmatic about installs where prudence isn't followed. After haveing used Mac's for over 20 years some of the smallest heads up have saved hours of problems others have had. So I do my research, watch what others report, and move slowly. After all what's the hurry. Better to know something about what one is doing then to proceed headlong into darkness.

"As we advised yesterday, one very good way to do this is to install Leopard to an external drive only, because (1) this installation will be absolutely clean, without inheriting any extensions, preference panes, contextual menus, input managers, weird fonts, or other items that might cause compatibility problems"
