You may be right. At least, by "same place" I mean "via relative
URI", and I've always read 6(d) that way, but that's clearly my
mistake since it does refer to textual instructions.
The question about a third party's sources, though, I think there's
some ambiguity there. "You" are required to provide and ensure
availability of the sources; I've always interpreted that as meaning
you need to have access to the server where the archive is hosted, and
the phrase about "operated by a third party" is intended to avoid the
excessive burden (for most folks) of maintaining a host. Rather, you
can use Savannah or SourceForge, as long as you do the work of
maintaining the copy.
If the intent is in fact to allow a third party's copy to be used, ok,
you're technically right. But I would consider the necessary legal
arrangements to be prohibitively expensive, compared to a rental
server or a project on Savannah or SourceForge.

Yes. But this isn't that hard; you would use some kind of universal
ID, like the bzr revid (not revno).

Sure, that would certainly satisfy the "equivalent copying" requirement.
