As you suspected, you are misunderstanding. The same rules apply about not having GPL (and LGPL in the case of Java)-licensed source within CVS. The compatibility referred to means that someone creating a derivative of a GPL-licensed work can use code licensed under the Apache License 2.0 to create that derived work. In other words, GPL-licensed code will be able to use Apache licensed code, but Apache projects are still not able to incorporate GPL'd code.
