Erik, if a Flickr user misclicked on the dropdown and selected the wrong license unknowingly and unintentionally they did not make a valid release under that license. Not only would such an accidental and uncompensated release have zero legal standing, it is terrible from a position of ethics.
And this just in... Flickr is now down because for the past two days it has been displaying the wrong images. Although this seems to have been limited to small images, there is no reason to see why other technical difficulties couldn't cause license data and images to be mismatched.
I'm glad the review bot compares the MD5sum of our copy and theirs. :)
