This is, IMHO, not a problem specific to the OGL.

In general I have yet to see any licence or agreement to include data in
OSM, that actually states that the licensor has all the necessary rights
to licence the data on the terms presented and holds the licensee (us)
harmless for any damages arising out of not having those rights.

Note that the ODbL is no different in this respect.

Essentially it boils down to buyer beware.
