After studying the D800/e PDf manual and a 2013 Lens compatibility chart/xls.
I agree with you, the lens indicated in the exception is the Pre-D af 80-200 2.8.
(i.e. not the AF-D 80-200 2.8 new-two-ring, that one has a full compatibility listing in the XLS chart I have).
Maybe the receptionist/technician was confused by the number of variants of the 80-200 2.8.
To test their knowledge, I suggest you ask him/her what the spec of the first 80-200 2.8 was (grin).
On the other hand, there may be one or more errors in the chart due to the enormous amount of possible lens/camera combinations.
I have not tried all possible permutations, but found some cases where the people of Nikon took the cautious approach.
Regards, Gilbert
