I don't see the word "invariant" there

I put it in quotes to suggest that the spirit of GPL 2c (from the FSF's perspective) is similar to invariant sections in the GFDL, in that there is some specific message the modified program must convey; even though as you say it need not be preserved verbatim. The required announcement can be seen as a political statement (not just a legal statement). Anyway, I didn't mean to suggest more than a rough analogy.
