This came from the old wiki, so the history is unclear. I suppose it could mean either: If you replicate information in xenstore then you should not expect it to be consistent or Do not replicate information, do not require information to be consistent. But let me turn the question around: What are you actually trying to achieve? i.e. what is causing this ambiguous and confusing statement to be a concern for you. Unless the author or someone else in the know speaks up I would propose to remove this text from the wiki. Ian.
