If Zenimax/id Software is (possibly) violating the GPL should someone
tell the FSF? Maybe Zenimax/id Software would rerelease it using the
unmodified GPLv3+? :-(

They aren't violating it; they own all the code they've released, so they can do whatever they want with it (including making two projects license-incompatible).

ET and Quake3 don't share any code from incompatible license releases (ET _is_ based on Quake3, but not from the GPL release).

It would be nice if they'd relicense--I'm fairly certain this was a misunderstanding or oversight--but I wouldn't count on it happening.
