The game animation, as Dave explained elsewhere in the last day or so, is done in parallel with the "tweaks" to the rules. Some of those tweaks come too late to do anything about them, so it may be that the tongs and the cell racks were included in those.

Of course, then there's that one from last year... The animation showed something that was illegal until the first update came out (on a Monday). The manual just hadn't had that rule removed yet.
