Its probably because of reasons like this combo. I would imagine it means any Faceless Butcher too.

Alright, it can target another Butcher. I looked on the Saturday School rulings page on the WotC site. This is what they had to say:

When Faceless Butcher comes into play, it can't target itself. It can target a different Faceless Butcher, though.

Three Faceless Butchers can combine to create an infinite loop, but it's complicated. Here's exactly what has to happen: First, the only creature in play must be a Faceless Butcher (Butcher #1). In the removed from game zone is Faceless Butcher #2, which was removed by Butcher #1. If a third Butcher is played, the loop will kick in. Butcher #3 must remove Butcher #1 from the game. When Butcher #1 leaves, Butcher #2 comes back in. Butcher #2 must remove Butcher #3, which causes Butcher #1 to come back, and so on. Unless another spell or ability breaks the loop or otherwise ends the game, the game will end in a draw.

Direct damage is the enforcer of sanity in Magic. It ends the game when a bunch of dorks clog up the board with 28 variations of Fog Bank, Puppeteer, Silent Arbiter, and Ensnaring Bridge.
