When I looked at what causes a Morale check on p.80 I didn't see anything about a Morale check being triggered by 4 or fewer units, though there is a so-called "survivor" bonus that you would miss out on mentioned on the bottom of the page (so maybe that is what the comment on p.3 referred to).
Anyway, I never figured it out, and maybe I am missing something, but I always wondered if a solo unit was forced to make a morale check each turn.

Correct. I do not remember the thread, but I do remember that the developers made a comment (perhaps in the release notes) to the effect that any unit of less than four was subject to melee checks, and that this was specifically caused to balance SC's somewhat.
