I don't recall anything about this. What I remember is that post-Warsaw spoiler logic on 320 was changed inasmuch selecting reverse cracked open the spoilers thereby killing a bit of lift and compressing both struts.
That agrees with my understanding of information obtained from the horse's mouth.
The 'wiki' comment probably arises because the A320 oleo design was changed to reduce the breakout 'stiction', but that was done to improve the harsh taxy ride that occurred on some surfaces. As a byproduct it reduced the vertical force necessary to start the torque links moving from their fully extended position (used to signal WOW) but that was not its primary purpose.
A classic case of 2+2=4.5!
