So... what do we do next?
Other people have put the font in a zip file with the license and make
a note on the OFLB description that it is actually under the GPL and
not PD/OFL.
Yes, but IMHO that's bypassing cc-Host's description features and therefore not ideal and confusing.

The note maybe but zipping font files with a detached .TXT file is good
practice and should be promoted.


Indeed. 100% agreed :-)

I'd also highly recommend a file in the release tarball describing the chosen licensing and some kind of readme/changelog. Actually that's why the OFL is promoting the concept of a FONTLOG and provides a template.

BTW, here's a proposed VCS branch and tarball template for an open font:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-fonts/foo-open-font-sources/?rev=0&sc=0

Your feedback very welcome,

Cheers,
