It technically shouldn't, because eagle warriors (or whatever they're called) in Mictlan can fly, but not enough to add significantly to their mapmove ability, if I'm reading it right. Basically, they can hop or glide. I guess that would help cross terrain faster, but how much faster is debatable. Anyway, the description seems to be saying that flying can be separate from map-move.
They can only fly when blessed in battle. The blessing doesn't last long enough to allow them to fly in strategic map, but is good enough for battles. They are an exception.

There ARE flying units with mapmove 2 - the heavily armed Caelians. Heavy infantry usually has mapmove 1, they have 2. LI usually has mapmove 2, light fliers have 3. I think that is enough proof of flying giving +1 mapmove instead of mapmove 3 (with exceptions to the rule, of course).
