Movies are never canon, because, for starters, they happen in an alternate timeline that can't be fit into the story, just like fillers. And even if Kubo does supervise the production of the movie, they are still not done by him but by the animation team. Thus we find the kind of things we find in the movies (which I'm not going to list right now). Yes, this chapter was a promotional to the movie, the way the "Dying in the Icefields" was promoting the Diamond Dust Rebellion, still, both are non-canon. And as Mohrph mentioned somewhere else, this chapter was called "Imaginary" so it doesn't even belong to the storyline, I think that sums it up.
