Let's say I lose my rights under §11 to the Covered Work. Could I ask a friend to give me a copy of the same Covered Work under the GNU GPL version 3 (via section 10) and then redistribute the covered work under the GNU GPL version 3?
Maybe §11 could be explicit about what "new licenses" means, perhaps something along the lines of: "Termination of Your rights disqualifies You from receiving new licenses covering the Received Work (including any future version of this license or those listed in section 10 of this license)."
