But (unless I've missed something) that doesn't deal with the issue
that the CTs reserve the right to switch the data to (amongst other
things) a non-attribution licence at a future date.
Indeed, and as many will be aware its something I have raised concerns
about. It is touched upon by Mike Collinson here
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/legal-talk/2011-January/005716.html
Perhaps the answer is that if at some time in the future a new licence was
proposed, and OSMF is aware that there is data in the DB which would be
incompatible with that proposed future licence, and they are unable to
identify and remove that data, then they would have to accept that they
would be prevented from switching to that licence.

The OS have today switched to the Open Government License which means
that
any remaining doubts of the compatibility of OS Open data with ODBL have
been resolved as far as I can see.
Details in the email below.

As it happens OS is planning to move to the Open Government Licence, and
this has an explicit compatibility clause with any ODC attribution
licence.
(It also has sane guidance on attribution, e.g. "If it is not practical
to
cite all sources and attributions in your product prominently, it is
good
practice to maintain a record or list of sources and attributions in
another
file. This should be easily accessible or retrievable.")
This switch has just been announced:
