This makes good sense, but might I suggest a look at Kheldon NPCs published since then? I don't have the books available in work, but "Orlanth is Dead" has stats for Kallyr, and presumably other Kheldon NPCs. See what movement magic they've got.
There's also the possibility that this bit of colour isn't even an Orlanthi "all" (85%), but an "everyone knows" all. Like "everyone knows that the Lismelder have webbed feet", "everyone knows that the Poss men prefer their sheep to their women", and so on. Maybe 5% true at most. (Ask any Lismelder. Everyone knows it's only the Marshedge clan that have the webbed feet. Unless, of course, you ask one of the Marshedge...)
