The NSA Tips for Hardening OS X 10.6 is a NSA publication and is geared towards their needs. That is where the inconsistency originates.
Both are excellent reading though - it's always interesting to see how NSA recommends securing an OS.
An apparent misunderstanding is that the "Security Configuration Guides" for Mac OS X that are available from both Apple and NSA are collaboratively vetted. This is NOT an Apple Security Configuration Guide created and published in a vacuum. The guides are developed, vetted and targeted specifically FOR US Federal Government Agencies and used by many.
Apple
NSA
What NSA also does is provide the Tri-fold for condensed, simplified communication.
