No, he's right on the facts -- if dir, dir2, dir3 are not already
versioned, then you get:

$ mtn add dir/dir2/dir3/foo.file 
mtn: adding dir to workspace manifest
mtn: adding dir/dir2 to workspace manifest
mtn: adding dir/dir2/dir3 to workspace manifest
mtn: adding dir/dir2/dir3/foo.file to workspace manifest
$ mtn commit dir/dir2/dir3/foo.file   
mtn: warning: restriction excludes addition of 'dir/dir2/dir3' but
     includes addition of 'dir/dir2/dir3/foo.file'
mtn: misuse: invalid restriction

That's with current mainline; with 0.28, the add command prints only:

$ mtn-0.28 add dir/dir2/dir3/foo.file 
mtn-0.28: adding dir/dir2/dir3/foo.file to workspace manifest

even though it in fact adds all of those directories; this might be
part of the confusion...
