This threw me too, actually.   It's just wording.  "backbone connected
interfaces" means "interior interfaces on which you run your IGP".  

For example:

int POS1/0/0
 description connection to another backbone location
 ip address foo bar
 isis circuit-type level-2-only
 isis metric 1 level-2

which I think is what Jared means.  The terminology to 
explain the difference between that and actually putting
a prefix into your IGP is a bit dense, so a shortcut probably
was a reasonable idea.  --:)
