To be fair, I don't know if this provision was added after they had reported the instance in their transparency report.
However, I think at some point the customer should use a bit of common sense. Anyone who believes that a government may compel a company to start IP-logging their mail should be considering that in their threat model when they are looking for an e-mail provider. I don't think it needs to be plastered on the front page - especially not with advice on how to circumvent government authorities lawful requests.
