You're right that it's not false advertising, but it still is at least somewhat misleading/confusing. First of all, they use the word "original" without mentioning which version this is or any changes, so even though it doesn't say "original versions", it can still cause confusion. Also, like I just said, they don't mention any changes - in fact, the Lucasfilm people haven't given us any direct answer about the changes. And the boxset doesn't say which version this is. When a movie has more than one version, the box needs to say what version it is, otherwise people have no idea what they're getting.

It's not actual false advertising, but nonetheless it is somewhat misleading. And I guarantee just calling it the Original Trilogy with no mention of the version, of any changes, etc. will confuse a lot people.
