It doesn't imply to me that Man Three *never* changes the baby, just that he didn't do it in the event being discussed. Okrand's explanation was focusing on how to interpret a prefix that doesn't match the possible objects for a verb, and addressed "similar" situations where it doesn't match the stated object. I believe that the mismatch need not be limited to person, but can include number.
