This makes me wonder if there's a loophole in their source protection pledge.

If you were to check the box asserting copyright, and if the whilstleblowee were to file a John Doe suit against you for copyright infringement and then subpena your identity from the WSJ, would they comply with the subpena?

Yes.

"Al Jazeera and the WSJ both say they reserve the right to identify leakers to law enforcement if pressed to."
