Yes, but the ASF's reading seems to be clear: http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#permissive-deps "In LICENSE, add a pointer to the dependency's license within the source tree and a short note summarizing its licensing:"
I'd be concerned if you get a different interpretation from the ASF. I suppose it's OK to ask the question again, but for the moment I don't see a reason to believe there's a problem.
