To speculate a bit:
There was a departure of an ERJ-175 immediately before they landed but i doubt that would mess the localizer up long enough to be a problem even for an autoland if they did one.
Maybe just the pilots way to describe they were going the wrong direction. The reason for that "deviation" will hopefully be in the report some day.
