I was leaving this distinction out to simplicity the discussion--the

OK. I thought you were talking in general.
If you think about it, agreeing to "any later version" could be very
dangerous.
Theoretically, version 4 of the GPL could state that you need to
provide 24/7 technical support, with a response time of 4 hours! By
releasing under GPL 2 or any later version, you would then have agreed
to provide 24/7 tech support.
No, this doesn't place any burdens on the original author, only on a
*re*-distributor who decided to release the work (or derivative) under
the later license.

Yes, agreed, you are right there.
