Do you have a source for that statement?

So, for example, a runway departure on takeoff or landing could well qualify. Pushing an aircraft off the taxiway with a tug, no matter how embarrassing or inconvenient, probably doesn't.
I found it in my company's OM-A as "Occurrence Reporting List". The official reference is: EU 2003/42/EC, ANNEX I - List of aircraft operations, maintenance, repair, and manufacture-related occurrences to be reported
EUR-Lex - 32003L0042 - EN
and it says:
(r) Aircraft unintentionally departing from a paved surface.
IMHO it does not exclude an excursion during push-back
