This looks like a mistake in categories.html. I'll mail FSF about this.
Rather, it's a mistake in GPLv3 *iff* it should be a strong copyleft.
FSF changing its basic guidance to create retrospective continuity is the wrong way to fix this, just like editing the GNU website after a GNU luminary makes false claims in interviews is the wrong way to fix those. Instead, try apologising and issuing corrections...
Or maybe GPLv3 was never meant to be a strong copyleft. iDunno.
