If the "or later" clause is included, then who gets to choose which parts of the optional license apply?
If the author, then no it doesn't.
If the user, then it's mostly irrelevant (although it would be interesting if the user chose restrictions the original author didn't like, made changes, and released the new derived work under the more restricted GPL3
