No, you don't. They have licensed their work under the GFDL, but they haven't given you permission to re-license it on their behalf.
Even if that is true, I fail to see the substantive difference between those two scenarios. Either way, the work is licensed under the GFDL. Can you present a more well defined hypothetical?
In any case, my point still stands that there *are* scenarios where someone other than a sole author can grant a non-exclusive license to a work. You suggested that there wasn't.
