This was explained to me by François Bergeron, so pretty much yes :-)
(up to the point that we are speaking about the same thing). Actually,
I think he told me this example was in the Book.

The point is that relabeling a permutation in cycle notation
corresponds to the action of S_n on itself by *conjugation*, and not
*on the right* as when you relabel a permutation in array notation.

Example, relabeling by the transposition (1,2):

        (1,2) (3)   =   213

            ||          ||
            \/          \/

        (1,2) (3)  <>  123

Cheers,
                                        Nicolas
