I can confirm, he is correct, I am having the same issue. By "post-game" he means "after completing quest 'The Final Battle' but before starting New Game Plus", and I too believe this means this quest cannot start.

This kind of makes sense considering above page blurb:
 * If Reynard is NOT your Beloved, Search Party will be CANCELLED upon completion of The Final Battle(the point of no return on that quest is when you reach the inner sanctum just after killing the Gorechimeraand pressing the four floor-switches).
