What might this statement from FAQs mean, esp. the second paragraph: But if you release the modified version to the public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL. Isn't this "releasing the modified version to public in some way"?

I think that it's up for interpretation by a court, but it seems reasonable to me that you aren't releasing anything to the public since the code resides on your servers. You are merely giving access to your server which in turn runs the code. You aren't distributing anything.
