Later that team realizes that another team should own the bug. If they just move it over to the other team, that team's triage team will not notice that issue while triaging bugs, and the bug goes undetected until much later. Therefore we typically change the state from Open to New when moving bugs across teams.

Right. The difference is that this situation happens *after* the initial triage, which means that the state has already been moved to Open. It's important that the engineer, which often are not part of the triage team, move the bug back to the New state. Maybe it's not worth spelling out this situation explicitly when it can be implied from line 184.
