An engine works harder during break in, and the higher energy content of quality gasoline is preferable until it is making full power. In addition, gasoline will wash down the cylinder walls of oil more than non-liquid fuel would, helping to set the rings as they wear against the cylinder honing hashes on the cylinder walls as they wear off, which you want while breaking in. An improperly broken in engine will use more oil and fuel over its lifetime. After it is broken in, I like to switch air cooled engines over to full synthetic oils as the polymer chains in synthetic are less prone to break down in the hot spots you see in air cooled engines.
I would do as they say.
