Yes, I agree, in general, but it's still not clear to me that section 12 of
LGPL can't be interpreted as "you can put a single GPL header" just like
"2 or later" in a GPLv2+ header can be interpreted as "you can update the
version number and use a single header".

What would be the difference?

That depends on whether the original author chose license terms that would
allow this.  In this case they did.

  still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
