The wiki page also notes that it is prohibited: "Blockade pieces may not be moved forward together with the roll of a double."  (That bit is found with a citation to the Parker Brothers rules, which, as you say, doesn't corroborate the rule.) It was added in a big block of rules text back in April 6, 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parcheesi

(I've added a citation there to the MB rules.)
