PIing the spell names with a generous reuse license gives the reuser three options: 1) Comply with the terms of the PI license. 2) Reuse the OGC but come up with a new name for the spell. 3) Skip using the OGC entirely, and either write something similar himself, or search for something similar elsewhere that doesn't have any entanglements. It's only if he picks 2 or 3 that the original publisher's intent is thwarted. And if his intent was to deliberately cripple the OGC in order to discourage borrowing of any kind (something that has been suggested on this list has happened in the past)(although not necessarily related to this specific case), then 3 would make the original publisher happy as well.
