I agree option 1 is quite unlikely and should not be considered. Option 2 is a bit more likely, but since Matt has been a large target this whole time, it doesn't really make sense either. I further agree that option 3 is the most likely of the ones you listed.
However, there is an option 4 Rathji did not consider. A townie, thinking Rathji was a townie, redirected the action to Matt, thinking Matt was mafia. For me, this makes the most sense. There was a lot of distrust towards Matt near the end of day 1, and likely some anger after RD flipped town, so it would make a lot of sense for a townie to re-direct the power to Matt to kill / expose him in some way. I do realize this is very similar to Rathji's option 3, but I don't think a townie would have to assume Rathji was mafia in order to re-direct his power on to Matt.
All in all, I'm not sure how much this post helps us with the vague information provided. I agree Rathji's power should be kept secret, but without us knowing the power, all we really know now is that there is likely a role manipulator out there. Makes me wonder if the post was meant to help us, or just a long winded way of making us feel more comfortable with two people as part of the light. (Or Rathji was just sleepy and thought the post would have been helpful).
I'd like to hear other's thoughts on this.

The post was intended to point out 2 likely town people.
Last game, having town people clearly identified helped us out immensely.
There was no indication that the person knew the power they were redirecting, and no way that I know of for them to have figured it out on day 1, so it was just a random choice.
