Expired vehicle tags in California

I have long been under the impression that in California, when your registration expires, you have an additional month before they will ticket you. I thought this was “common knowledge” and has been the law for a long time.

However, I have a parking ticket dated 10-29 and my car’s registration is September. Shouldn’t I have until November 1st?

Googling the relevant portion of the California vehicle code gives me this:

What the hell does that last part mean? My long-held understanding of the law was correct only for six months last year?
