I thought it crazy, too, until I remembered that Santa Anita's problem was small sand in their cushion clogging their drainage ... did they not heavily test the draininge, like Keeneland did? with the first section of track laid? Sounds like a free new cushion from the manufacturer to me (I read the complaints SA had about the manufacturer not being immediately responsive to their problems with the installation)
Anyway, so I suppose if SA has the base, they can put another cushion down over it - maybe it's not so whacky a rumor?
