I understand multiple-host mode, but univercd's
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat3560/12235se/scg1/sw8021x.htm#wp1192140

says the client laptops used 802.1x with the AP, then
the AP again uses 802.1x with 3560. Does that sound
unnecessary to you?

Only scenario I can think of is that the AP is out
on a desk or on a public area dry wall being touched
by any one or any one with a ladder and can be swapped
at any time with a rogue AP. Is that what they are
talking about ? The hacker is very low. I am not sure.
