I've asked the legal list for the answer to this, and I only got one response, which I found unclear. My understanding is that "by using this site you agree to the ODbL" will be part of the terms of service of the OSM website, so I can't even *reject* the contributor terms without agreeing to the ODbL. According to the new terms of service, if I don't agree to the ODbL, I can't access the site at all, right? I assume a court will be okay with me accessing the site once, to read the terms of service, though.
