Where do they say this? Sure, the in-built wireless does not form part of a managed system, but it can still be used along side other managed or un-managed APs - I do it myself at home as I wouldn't want to pay for an extra AP either.

If you're doing ad-hoc then it can be used quite happily. I think it very unlikely they said this to sell more units... I think better of them; accepted you don't

It does not need to be disabled whether the external APs are managed or not, but as you say the internal wireless does not form part of the managed system so you should turn it off if you want fully managed wireless. Often, with a managed system the router isn't in an ideal position for wireless coverage anyway.
