Could be something to do with why Astropathic Communications weren't getting through, could just be that Magnus was to distracted he couldn't summon enough power to pull them with him, he was moving pretty much what survived of Tiszca.

It wasn't astro-telepathy that was affected, it was their powers. The adepts of the Fellowship, including Captain Kalliston and Sergeant Arvida, were having difficulty using their powers the way they used to. My guess is, when they weren't summoned to the Planet of the Sorcerers, whatever Tzeentch had done to them (including increased psychic talent and the flesh-change) disappeared, weakening their talents but freeing them from the flesh-change.

You miss my point, throughout the course of the Heresy Astropathic Communications were affected, whether it was down to the Chaos Gods fiddling with the warp, the Alpha Legion or other things. The same thing that could have been effecting communications could have been affecting their powers, both are warp related.

And yet the Thousand Sons on Prospero had no difficulty, and neither did the Rune Priests.

Yes, that was on Prospero, where one of the biggest events in the Heresy was about to take place ...

We know that the Chaos Gods had an interest in this, they wanted it to and needed it to happen, they aren't going to let anything prevent it from going down.

Well, they both have lots of psykers and are obsessed with knowledge. Also, the Chaos lord Eliphas called Blood Ravens captain Davian Thule "Brother" in Dawn of War: Dark Crusade. None of that is from C.S. Goto, all of it is referenced in the Dawn of War games.

Could he have meant it sarcastically?

He did.

You can even tell when it's actually done in-game, the voice actor does a great job of making the word "Brother" evoke the same reaction as "Traitor".

As mentioned it is strongly suggested in "A thousand sons" and "Rebirth" that the Bluhd Rehvens are a descendant of the thousand sons, nothing black and white though. Their armour colours are almost exactly the same.
This question (just like the fate of the two missing legions, as well as other subjects) will never be answered as they create mystery. Mystery (at least a bit) is important to any setting as it produces speculation which in turns creates a talking point. Just the amount of these type of threads confirms this.
