Ingest and Anafenza

Hello everybody,

I was reading the Release Notes of Battle for Zendikar (yes I know I should have read them wayyyyy sooner, sooryy :( ) and I bumped into this:

Ingest
* If a replacement effect will cause cards that would be put into a graveyard from anywhere to be exiled instead (such as the one created by Anafenza, the Foremost), you can still put an exiled card into its opponent’s graveyard. The card becomes a new object and remains in exile. In this situation, you can’t use a single exiled card if required to put more than one exiled card into the graveyard. Conversely, you could use the same card in this situation if two separate spells or abilities each required you to put a single exiled card into its owner’s graveyard

What I am failing to understand is why a a card that is not moved is becoming a new permanent. Anyone cares to explain to me please?

thank you and king regards,
giorgos

400.8. If an object in the exile zone is exiled, it doesn’t change zones, but it becomes a new object that has just been exiled.

(gets around Void Maw shenanigans)
