That statement itself seems to contradict something you said on this
list on 6 December 2012 regarding Overpass:

  If 'Overpass' is considered a valuable Red Hat trademark, I'd
  personally suggest declaring trademark notices alongside copyright
  notices for both licenses.

(unless I misunderstood it). 

In any case, I don't see a contradiction. The RFN is used to add a
trademark-like copyright condition to the OFL. The trademark notice is
just a trademark notice.
