a Knight on one of these spaces could not move as though it were on the other space. However, that looks like what the Knight is doing in your example
That much is clarified in the accompanying text. All three of e4, f6, and g7 can be reached by an orthogonal step (taking into account the rule about sideways moves from 5 going directly to g5) followed by a diagonal step.
This holds equally well whether we use the author's preferred definition for the knight move or either of the more common ones H.G. suggested
there are no bugs in the variant and the set of rules is consistent. Complicated, yes, but conclusive.
Afaict, the rules themselves are indeed consistent (and may well lead to an interesting game), but the explanation could be clearer, as shown by the fact that they seem to be unclear in some respect of another to most of the readers here.
Also I second H.G.'s request for clarification on the matter of knights moving through/over closed switches
