Read his "clarifications" web page on the book's web site:
http://letoverlambda.com/index.cl/clarifications
The "Chapter 3" he's talking about is actually available online:
http://letoverlambda.com/index.cl/guest/chap3.html
Search for the word "hygienic" in that page. There's only two
(non-consecutive) paragraphs containing that word. It seems clear to
me that the author only knows about syntax-rule, not syntax-case.
