The recursive function call (which is what the section "Recursive
Patterns" is about) in files-in-below-directory uses "append", not cons.
cons happens to be used elsewhere in the function. It says right before
the files-in-below-directory definition that it uses "append".
So personally speaking I don't find it confusing.
