I found the "invert sugar" stuff, too, and my understanding was also that it somehow freed the fructose. Like you, though, chemistry is not my strong point. (About all I remember from high school chem is the "noble gases" - for some reason they stuck in my head.) From a quick look at your article, it sounds like some of the benefits of invert sugar in food manufacturing are the same as the benefits of HFCS, so it does seem like they're related somehow.
The really weird thing about the honey comment is that it was made by the company that uses "glucose-fructose syrup", NOT HFCS. It does make them sound kind of defensive, so I guess that's another strike against their syrup.
