Why do I see hold time violations in Core path under "Report DDR" timing report of DDR3 SDRAM Controller with UniPHY when implementing it in HardCopy devices?

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description You may see hold time violations in Core path in Report DDR timing report of DDR3 SDRAM Controller with UniPHY only in HardCopy® revision. This violation could happen when the pll_afi_clk (clock output c0 of the PLL) is not placed on a global clock network. Global clocks and regional clocks have larger skew in HardCopy IV device family compared to Stratix® IV device family.
Resolution To avoid the hold timing violations, place the pll_afi_clk to a global clock network.
