I don't see how that changes anything. If you sue Facebook you lose the explicit patent grant, but you are still left with a BSD license that allows "redistribution and use in source and binary forms", so you still have the implicit patent grant.

This doesn't work if there's an explicit grant. You can't pretend the PATENTS file isn't there.
