I agree that summaries are not the best. But it still seems like a good indicator of intent if it's not inconsistent.

Anyway, back to the original post, we still have this statement from the CoE. It is not part of the actual errata but it is presumably a "rule" to be followed, regardless of any rules lawyering.
CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR VOTE:
If you vote YES, then:
- Orc scouts in Fallen-wizard companies count half towards a company's size (round up), 
- Orcs and Trolls in play by a Fallen-wizard can take trophies, 
- Fallen-wizard companies cannot normally contain multiple Orc and/or Troll leaders (unless at a Wizardhaven).

Incidentally, the Balrog Rules Summary also gives the rule about Orc Scouts counting as half a character for Hazard Limit, making it of universal application rather than bulleted.

I'm very much inclined to think that the things they mention in the Rules Summary are to be accepted as updates to the rules, while the things they do not mention are not mentioned because it is a summary. "Summary" in this sense would refer to the fact that not all aspects of the game are covered. It does not refer to the aspects that are covered being somehow deficient.
The game is flawed, but this does not mean it cannot be loved.
