I'm not sure how that logic follows; my gut feeling would be that they
aren't covered but I'm sure there are many people on this list with more
familiarity than I have. Can anyone say or give a pointer?

No. Would the fix be to add them as a separate thing one can sign?

I don't think that's what I mean, because that's language of intent, not
capability. I can change it to "the issuing intermediate or root" and
then change the "pathlen=0" thing to be "(intermediates only)".

Yep. In publicly-trusted hierarchies, if they are going to keep issuing
SHA-1 certificates.

Does switching intermediates break this? If so, why? Pinning?

Why would you want to? Who is checking embedded CT in OCSP signing certs?
