Hmmm. I suppose this is a "Free" license rather than a "Moral Rights" 
license. 

[Vacillate, vacillate] :-)

There's bound to be at least one issue like this per jurisdiction, and in 
some cases there will be incompatibilities between multiple jurisdictions 
meaning that no centralised fix will be possible.

So it's an educational rather than a licensing issue and the relevent clauses 
should be removed from CC-UK. Fair enough.
