Problem #VWYnY

If gold hits pawn 25, king goes to 13, then sente can put pawn from hand to 14 and that would be mate. YaneuraOu K-PNNUE doesn't allow to put the pawn there. I think, that there's a mistake.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi#Drops

"Drop Pawn Mate (Japanese: 打ち歩詰め uchifuzume): A pawn may not be dropped to give an immediate checkmate. (This rule only applies specifically to pawns, drops and checkmates − to clarify, a player may deliver an immediate checkmate by dropping a non-pawn piece, a player may checkmate a king with a pawn that is already on the board, and a pawn may be dropped to give an immediate check as long as it does not also result in checkmate.)"
