Had I not:
* known that the basic CC license was CC-BY-NC-ND;
* read half a dozen other versions of the BY-SA license that were
ported to other locales in other languages;
* read the Scottish port of later licenses;
I would not have considered the possibility that the clause was
accidentally included.

This error raises an interesting issue.
Is the CC-BY-SA 2.0 UK license compatible with the other CC-BY-SA 2.0 licenses?

Given the difference in the clauses, I'd say no.
