Keep in mind that turning Whispernet off also disables Wi-Fi connections."

Yes. It is worded poorly and may be an implementation issue but currently it just means that they're connecting to Whispernet via WiFi instead of 3G. They're not actually turning off the cell modem. Go to Settings and then type 611 (Alt + YQQ) to get to the cell modem info page and you'll see it is still connected.
The reverse is also true. You can be connected via 3G but the WiFi interface will always be on and searching for hotspots or access points.
