When forwarding a matched fragment to another macro-by-example, matchers in the second macro will see an opaque AST of the fragment type. The second macro can’t use literal tokens to match the fragments in the matcher, only a fragment specifier of the same type. The ident, lifetime, and tt fragment types are an exception, and can be matched by literal tokens.
I don't know what a "literal token" is, but it's apparently not the same as a token of kind literal (i.e., $foo:literal), so the term is confusing and also not properly introduced.
I think "literal" there has the same meaning as in "literally me".
In any case the snippet needs some updates because after rust-lang/rust#124141 we cannot really say that the macro will see "opaque AST".
