I am kind of lost. I thought by burning BTC we just send to the unspendable address as described in the tutorial here: http://counterpartyd-build.readthedocs.org/en/latest/HowToBurn.html

I hasn't seen OP_RETURN is used in this method. Does that mean the tutorial there has been obsoleted, or there's a new method using OP_RETURN?

OP_RETURN isn't necessary (only) for burns, and indeed it's unsupported on mainnet until Bitcoind 0.9 comes out. The tutorial is up-to-date.
