They have put fallacious behaviour in quotes to indicate that they don't agree the fallacy exists. I could be wrong, however, as I am just going from the abstract and maybe the authors do claim it exists. However they seem to be saying it is just an artifact of hints. I'll need to read the paper to understand better. Maybe I'll end up disagreeing with the authors.
Textbook arguments are often wrong. Consider quantum physics and the Copenhagen Interpretation for example. And one way of arguing against CI is from a philosophical perspective (it's instrumentalist and a bad explanation).
I looked through the whole paper and don't think you're wrong.
I don't agree with the hints paper in various respects. But it disagrees with the conjunction fallacy and argues that conjunction isn't the real issue and the biases explanation isn't right either. So certainly there is disagreement on these issues.
