Amusing title... Belief in having broken your leg is linked with limping.

Yes if half of the people that broke their leg didn’t actually break it. May I suggest reading the article.

That was my reaction as well but it seems they (obviously, in retrospect) controlled for actually having had covid by serology testing.

Article states an interesting conclusion which is that belief in having had COVID does not correlate with evidence of actually having had it, yet belief does seem to correlate with Long Covid. Therefore some signal sent that long COVID is overlabeled.
