And indeed the text in question is present. See, for example, in Section 4.1 (Choice) on Page 55:

--
Script subtags are never appropriate for unwritten content (such as audio
recordings).
--

And then at the top of page 56:

--
*  When labeling content that is unwritten (such as a recording
          of human speech), the script subtag should not be used, even
          if the language is customarily written in several scripts.
          Thus the subtitles to a movie might use the tag "uz-Arab"
          (Uzbek, Arabic script), but the audio track for the same
          language would be tagged simply "uz".  (The tag "uz-Zxxx"
          could also be used where content is not written, as the subtag
          'Zxxx' represents the "Code for unwritten documents".)
