To rephrase your question, you're asking me whether I'd be okay with a 
clause that said:

Use of DRM on a redistributed CC work is okay ONLY IF:
1) The work is also made available in an unDRMed parallel version, and
2) Everyone is free to apply the DRM.

I would moderately prefer the straightforward parallel distribution 
clause to this one.  I would much prefer this version to a license 
without a parallel distribution.  (And I would consider a license 
without an anti-DRM clause at all unacceptable.)
