Sloppy writing/reporting. Electrons with no EFFECTIVE mass (which can be
NEGATIVE!) .. can acquire an EFFECTIVE mass in the presence of a high magnetic
field.
Since the "environment" (band structure etc etc) determines the "effective
mass" it's no surprise that a change in the environment will change the
effective mass.
