They do move onto the table. They move 1" onto the table. Then, you check if the models are all the way on, and Ghaz is not, and as such is destroyed.

A: Unless stated otherwise they are not slowed down
and will move the full distance rolled. However they
must still take Dangerous Terrain tests as normal.
from the FAQ
Correct, but that doesn't really have any specific bearing on the discussion. Trip 1's on Ghaz moving in from reserves still destroys the unit.

I think the argument is that S&P models always move on 6" because of the rule that discards rules should they prevent movement.
This I think disproves that argument.

Where is this rule in the rule book?

Ghostfacekillah has it right, the DoW deployment allows you to deploy 1HQ unit and 2 troop units. A squad of boys is 1 unit, the transport is a second unit, for them to count as a single unit the transport would have to maintain coherency with a squad and be restricted to firing at the same target as the boys, that and it would be impossible for the transport to embark upon itself so the universe would implode if your boys squad attempted to embark. -TheAvengingKnee

It comes up so rarely that it wouldn't bother me anyway.
Even i don't roll triple ones that often  , and express delivery Ghaz-a-grams are a good way to get him killed, albeit taking a very suprised unit or two with him.
