The problem is there are plenty of examples within duolingo itself that dropped the modifier 的 when it comes to referencing family in the other modules (and accepted as answers!). It's inconsistent.
Duo's tips are helpful: https://www.duolingo.com/skill/zs/Sports-1/tips
As well as the outside links already posted by hippietrail and Artikyulet.

Is this about what Chinese Grammar Wiki calls "separable verbs", or is this something else?

It's a little bit about that, and a bit about learning to use the new "de" (得)。 This is "彳部的 ‘得’”, which is used to preface modifiers of verbs. Everything I know about this I learned from this Chinese Pod video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggPbyZN96ss
