The following line does state that there is a binary incompatibility when upgrading the minor version.

* `v0.4.0 -> v0.5.0` is <span style="color: #c10000">binary incompatible</span>.

A few lines above, the three rules on semantic versioning state that a minor version bump should be used when the publisher introduces a source code incompatibility and not a binary incompatibility.

As a novice, I am confused. Please correct me if the Error is on my side. :)

For v0.x.y versions, the rules are different than for >= v1.0.0. A change in x can break binary compatibility.
