Subject:push start - not?

According to Bentley:

"Vehicles with Manual Transmission must not be started by pushing
or towing.
Damage to the catalytic converter and/or other parts of the vehicle
may result."

As the previous owner of 4 different Type II's ('59, '60, '63, '70),
I am quite dismayed at this apparent lack of "start of last resort"
in the Vanagon models.  Is it really true?
