No, I'm pretty sure he meant the Luke and Biggs scene before the battle of Yavin, that was partly reinstated for the SE. Although I still don't believe it true, he probably just watched the SE for a while and forgot that it wasn't there before.
Ah, maybe you're right. But my assertion still stands; the Biggs hangar scene were edited out at the same time the Tatooine scenes were, as a direct result of of the backstory now missing. However, almost the entire hangar scene was shown (though from a behind-the-scenes angle) in "The Making of Star Wars"...so someone could have watched that and thought on viewing the SE that they'd seen that scene before--because for all intents and purposes, they had.
