I'm not sure to what you're referring, unless you think that Vader is referring to Luke and not Obi Wan before the scanning crew entered the Millennium Falcon.
But either way, that wasn't my point. It's not that Vader wouldn't be able to sense him, it's that Vader and Obi Wan don't necessarily need to have a confrontation if they're accidentally in the same location.
Also, I think some people take this notion of "canon" way too far. Clearly, the Jedi weren't "extinct", as Tarkin states in
A New Hope, as Obi Wan and Yoda are still alive.
There's also been the introduction of Barash Vow, in which Jedi "deactivate" their powers, so there's no connection to the Force, making them invisible to other Force users. It's possible that Obi Wan took this vow, as did Luke, which is why Kylo Ren and Snoke have been unable to find him through the Force.
