Where does that say that Trac would need to switch to an Apache license to
use code licensed under ALv2?

Assuming the Trac project wants to take Apache Bloodhound code, why is
shipping the Apache v2 license file and adding an appropriate attribution
in the form of a boilerplate to any file that contains Apache licensed code
'impossible'?

The Apache FAQ[1] provides a clear understanding of this to me. Perhaps you
could restate exactly where the confusion is coming from?
