The question is whether "both" or "none" is the correct answer. AFAIK there are no hosts in the real world that don't understand "tail -1", and the new version of coreutils says that disallowing this syntax was a mistake.
And that's my understanding too. I should be able to update the book to coreutils-5.92 tonight or tomorrow. As far as I can recall, the build has never failed due to POSIX incompatibilities, and therefore I never did understand why the patch was ever used. Once the coreutils upgrade goes into LFS and cross-lfs, I'd strongly encourage cross-lfs to drop the patch.
