That's a circular argument, you can't appeal to clauses in that license to determine if that license is valid. If they can withdraw the license then that clause is also withdrawn.
I don't know about copyright law but in contract law just because something is written in a contract doesn't make it automatically applicable.
An analogous situation may apply here where this can be considered a misapplication and so the license does not apply.
Either way I'd not use this licence to comply with "don't be a dick". Not being an ass here may encourage future releases, being an ass over this could lead to "this is why we can't have nice things.".
