I think Rob's assertion is that the ODbL *does* extend to the produced work.
 That the produced work is still ODbL, there's just an exception from the
creator of the produced work to their requirement to provide the part of the
data which is not derived from the ODbL data.

But that would mean that mashing up CC-BY-SA data with ODbL data would
violate CC-BY-SA.
