In that case, you can just get explicit permission from each of them to do whatever it is you need to do, so there shouldn't be a problem.
I realized now what is the main problem. The issue wouldn't be newer or older version of the Wikipedia article because all older versions will be dual licensed in the future (of course, if it would be a decision).
The main problem is importing GFDL materials to my project and treating them as GFDL-only. So, even article is GFDL-only, every author (even it is a small number of them, not all of them are my friends reachable by phone call) should agree to give permissions under CC-BY-SA, too to Wikipedia (until the end of transition) "if Wikipedia moves to dual licensing".
BTW, it would be really useful to write some short manual for GFDL and other wikis: what means what and what would be the best to do according to the possible transition of Wikipedia to the specific dual-licensing.
