My lack of legal brain is confused on this. If URW doesn't change the
license and it remains purely GPL, but the other contributors agree to
re-license their parts as GLP+FontException, then what is there to be
gained by this? Isn't the user bound by most restrictive license in
the package, that is pure GPL?

Yes, however, GPL is not incompatible with "GPL with font exception".
It doesn't make sense to continue using GPL without the font exception
for
font licensing, which is why I recommended that instead of simply GPL.
