As a general trend I've noticed more of this kind of crap sneaking into the Jepp briefings. I am probably wrong but I have the distinct feeling that they are being written so they can be held up and pointed out to the local NIMBYs as the airports swashbuckling and unique way of dealing with noise pollution.
One of the Sardinian airports had a similar note along the lines of "idle power only for taxi" when the taxiway was slightly uphill. We had a colleague so blinded by SOPs that he attempted it and started rolling backwards.
I don't know if the instructions above are related to FOD or another genuine hazard but if they are some over zealous attempt at noise abatement then I hope that those who have been put in charge of an A380 have the common sense to treat them with utter contempt.
