What is the problem ? I haven’t spotted it in what you have said. Champions don’t have to be neutral good so it doesn’t matter that Torag can’t have neutral good champions
I might have missed something
Deities often add additional strictures (for instance, Torag’s champions can’t show mercy to enemies of their people, making it almost impossible for them to follow the redeemer cause).
I don't have G&M, but this line is in the CRB, so I see what they mean. It is explicitly calling out that Torag and the Redeemer clause might not get along, while Torag can't have Redeemers anyways so it's a bit of a moot point.
It could also be a future proofing sort of thing, like the expand the option to be a redeemer without being Neutral good at some point. Sure it's not possible now, but it could change in the future.

It appears that a follower of the Dwarven Pantheon, with Torag as their patron, can be an NG redeemer bound by the anathema of Torag.
But Pantheons are supposed to be the sort of thing where the player and the GM "make it work".
The Pantheon rules say a worshiper of a pantheon "must uphold the ideals of both their patron deity and the pantheon" which is up to interpretation as far as whether that includes alignments.
Like you can definitely make a case for a LN follower of the Godclaw to have Asmodeus as his patron.
