Yes, this is not new. This has always been the rule. No risks here. Well, a PMC member could prefer to just take a quick look, for compliance, at the source package and then use one of the binary packages for the acceptance test. But, given that there are enough PMC members who go through the expected process, it is still valuable to get feedback from other people who only tried binary builds.
As you noted, the importance of binary builds for OpenOffice is totally different than for other Apache projects, so we respect the generic rules but we also want binary builds to be evaluated; and if someone can only test binary builds, this is still very useful.
