Good news, everyone!
The OSI has approved both the Upstream Compatibility License 1.0 and the
BSD+Patent License.
The UCL was specifically approved as a 'Special Purpose' proliferation
category license. I see that McCoy Smith suggested the same category for
BSD+Patent but suggested as an alternative that it could be approved as
a variant to the 2-clause BSD license. The issue of proliferation
category was not specifically addressed in the course of approval of
BSD+Patent; for the moment I would assume it should be treated as
'Special Purpose' as well.
