One could stretch and say that detailing "without notice, warning, or statement" implied a demand for one of those, which is apparently unreasonable entitlement.
I think the general assumption when you buy or view a film is that unless you are told that it's cut or edited you are viewing the original theatrical presentation. We all grew up with a warning before every movie on broadcast TV that said it was "edited for time and content".
Even if not strictly required, it's still a best practice to alert viewers if you have made changes to a film. The fact that they did it silently without putting a disclaimer in the actual film, or even telling people they were doing it pretty much shows that they knew it would be viewed as improper and/or inappropriate.
