They explicitly said "an ML derivative that's not OCaml". It's not a big leap from that statement to "neither OCaml nor a Caml derivative" given the similarities between the languages. I'm really not at all surprised that if they want to discount OCaml as a successor ML, they'd want to discount F# as well, given the close relationship between the two. Like @hroman, I too was rather puzzled by your initial statement.
