Your interpretation adds something that your quoted text does not include. The quoted text does not include "but code point differing". It seems quite clear (at least when read in isolation from the rest of the spec) that its simply saying that two canonical-equivalent character sequences MAY not be distinct. If they are are not code point differing then they wouldn't be distinct. Otherwise they would be.
