Why do you say so?
Recipients can get the DRM-unencumbered copy in order to exercise their
freedom.
You can get the DRM-unencumbered copy in order to exercise your freedom
to further modify the work and so forth...

Of course the acceptable means of making an unencumbered version
available in parallel should be defined in the anti-DRM clause (please
compare with the GPL and the acceptable ways of making source
available).

But I really fail to see which freedoms would be hurt by an anti-DRM
clause which allowed the parallel distribution scenario.
