You are right. It's strange to see "begs the question" used properly for a change, I couldn't puzzle it out when I read it before.
(nods) I know what you mean: I would have quietly assumed it was a misuse as well if you hadn't raised the question and made me consider it explicitly; I was surprised to realize that it needn't be.
