I'm not sure what you mean by "second part" and "interesting way".
The change to that security consideration section was meant to warn
against the attack that John mentioned, that is:

original:

  DKIM-Signature: d=example.com; h=From:From:Subject; l=17; ...
  From: [email protected]
  Subject: unsigned Content-Type follows
  Content-Type: text/plain

  This is signed!

changed by attacker:

  DKIM-Signature: d=example.com; h=From:From:Subject; l=17; ...
  From: [email protected]
  Subject: unsigned Content-Type follows
  Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=boundary

  This is signed!
  --boundary
  Content-Type: text/plain

  Now this is the only visible part of the message,
  the (invisible) MIME preamble is still signed,
  the original signature is not broken.

  --boundary--
