She interprets for a good part of it, yes, but the direct quotes seem to point directly at the Geass subplot being dropped. And it's no lie that the magazine translations swapped from an overwhelming amount of "Suzaku has powers/Suzaku is connected to the Geass/Suzaku's powers were given to him/etc." to the half-hearted "just a superhuman" excuse between S1 and R2.
You're right, it could easily be a red herring. And really, I'd prefer if it was because ditching all the foreshadowing in S1 would be extremely disappointing. But considering that "it was too complicated" doesn't sound too far from the truth right now—considering the general discombobulation around the making of this season—I think it's safe to say that everyone's prepared for the worst scenario.
