Terminating 3.3V LVTTL signals

AN447 seems to have conflicting statements about what outputs need to be terminated. Page 14 says "The measured current exceeds the current limit from Table 3 on page 11. In conclusion, the Cyclone driver operating at 3.3-V LVTTL with 8 mA setting is not able to drive directly to a Cyclone III and Cyclone IV device input at 3.3-V VCCIO supply without termination." Yet the current was measured at 2.4V, nowhere near the voltage at which the PCI-clamp diode starts to conduct, and the statement contradicts Table 4. Can someone explain this apparent contradiction?
