Hmmm, interesting theory burra; however I am regrettably of the inclination that it is really just a big load of tripe (which is itself a rather tasteless recipe, made from the inside of a sheep's stomach and bearing absoluetly no reference whatsoever to Balrogs).
Maybe some did and some didn't? Maybe these Balrogs, being younger than the one in Moria, still had the power to change shape and could sprout wings? Maybe they were magically borne over Hithlum by he power of fire or something? *shrugs* This matter is probably indeed the most open-ended of all matters. But I just thought I'd bring that quote into the light.
