A 1mm shift of the camera will only produce a 1mm shift of the image on the sensor if the lens is at 1:1 magnification. That's not true in the general case. Lenses magnify. Different focal lengths magnify by different amounts. This applies to image shifts just as it does to the images themselves.
I still do not think this is correct. A point projected on the sensor by any lens will move 1mm if the camera body moves 1mm. (Equivalent to moving the sensor 1mm).
