I think it's two things:Yes, but license terms do not hold unless both sides agree. And that assertion is in a license term. That term cannot hold to me if I don't ever agree to it.
1. It's clearly true if the licensee agrees to 1.1.
2. In both the license language and explicitly in the propaganda, Wizards is staking out the position that it's true whether or not a publisher agrees to 1.1.
The consensus (not unanimous) by the lawyers here is that this position is on weak footing.
