Indeed he is. But look at the facts;

Massa was ahead, and had already defended.

Then comes the radio message....

All of a sudden, he slows down and lets Alonso go by.

Smell a rat?

They will argue:

That the radio message made him reconsider, and that he was not coerced into pulling over by the team, but made that decision by himself.

That there was no explicit command for Massa to move over, and as such it does not constitute a team order.

Ferrari clearly wanted Massa to move over but Ferrari, by not issuing a direct order, did not violate the team orders rule.
