Chris,
I think your reading too much into the phrase "In this example..." The FAQ is saying that imps do not overrun any differently than any other minion.
Quote:
Example #1: A Darkness Spread card instructs the player to add 1 Imp to a location that already has 3 Imps. At the same time, each adjacent location has 3 minions of other colors but no Imps.
In this example, the minion ability is replaced by the basic overrun rule since the minion (Imp or any other) is the 4th minion to be added to the location. The location would not gain an Imp, but a Tainted Crystal and follow normal overrun rules. Since each adjacent location has 3 minions already, no additional Imps would be added to the board, but each adjacent location would gain a Tainted Crystal.
So, when an imp is the 4th minion placed at a location as the result of a Darkness Spreads card, you follow the normal overrun rules and not the imp's Quick Flying ability.
