I agree it wasn't betrayed, the fact that we waged a 6 year war over it would indicate that, I think he places way too much emphasis on the Anglo-Polish treaty signed what a week before the German invasion.

The situation was that given that short amount of time neither Britain nor France was in a position to aid Poland in any significant manner, even the French foray into Germany was really little more than a gesture that they hoped would make the Germans come to the negotiating table and halt the Polish campaign which was doomed to failure because of the planned Russian involvement (something neither Britain nor France knew about).
