Yeah, that probably wasn't written very clearly. I think the idea was to disable client multicast on the other WLCs.
By default, wireless clients can send multicast traffic and it will make it to the wired network. But multicast traffic coming in from the wired network won't be sent out to the wireless clients until you enable it at Controller > Multicast > Enable Global Multicast Mode. Once multicast has been enabled globally, then you use the Controller > General > AP Multicast Mode option to define how the multicast traffic should be sent between the WLC and its APs.
