Where does it say no bonuses? I've read and re-read the DtW section and saw nothing that said no bonuses, just no modifiers. Additionally, nowhere in the book is a bonus defined. So either it's sloppy rule writing, or sloppy rule reading.

Page 24, Manifesting Psychic Powers Sequence call-out box - step 4. Deny the Witch "...If the psychic power does not target an enemy unit, your opponent can still attempt to Deny the Witch, but will not be able to use any bonuses"

But would you say a re-roll definitely counts as a bonus?

I only have the iBook version of the rulebook, page 393 if that helps.

Early in the Psychic rules you have the section "Manfofesting Psychic Powers".
It's the "Manifesting Psychic Powers Sequence" - step 4 is Deny the Witch
"...but will not be able to use any bonuses".

Later on in the rules it instead says "modifiers".

And correct, bonuses is not defined in the rulebook, so you need to fall back on the actual meaning of the word. I personally think a re-roll is definitely a bonus.

Hooray for more inconsistent rule writing... I would say by bonus they meant modifier, as the paragraph right above it says, "Manifesting psychic powers can be summarised in five steps, as described below. Each step is explained in greater detail later in this seciton."

So it seems to me that if their is a conflict between the summary and the full rules on the next few pages, I'd say the full rules following the summary take precedent, since they are the part where it is "explained in greater detail."
