I believe that "flat" tarball in Adam's question means tarball stripping out VCS information, not tarball as a format. Also, the clause doesn't disallow the distribution using tarball, but only define what "source code == preferred form for making modification" is. So, "flat tarball" becomes object code license-wise.
