It is likely that the LWG will be providing a clarification on the matter at hand soon (Paul has been doing some work on this over the last couple of weeks).
It should be further noted that any ODbL licensed data that somebody wants included in OSM would have to go through the same process as any other import. Is fairly obvious looking at the sequence and timing of events that led to the licence change that making imports of ODbL licensed data easy, clearly could have not been a goal of the switch and was not even on the table. Claiming that there was or is such an intent is simply a fabrication. All that said, address data is fairly unproblematic in that it is likely one of the easier things to add and remove again, but just as well could remain outside of OSM. Naturally importing address data is a sure killer to creating our own, mapper curated dataset in such regions, which implies that such areas would be those that would suffer most if an incompatible licence change happened in the future.
