In case anyone's still looking, here's the paper, I finally got around to looking at it.
They didn't just find DMS, they found a buttload of DMS. Like, it's the third strongest signature they detected after the methane and CO2. On Earth it's measured in parts per trillion.
Here's the guy's previous modeling of the chemistry of such a planet, in case like me you're wondering about the source of the details of the whole CO2/CO/CH4 situation.
