Yeah, this is absurd. If I am opted out of telemetry, that means don't send any fucking telemetry. That includes the fact that I opted out of telemetry.
If you aren't going to let me opt out of telemetry, don't give me the option. It's clear Mozilla is absolutely desperate to get 'telemetry' data to justify the continued Mickey Mousing of Firefox and I will happily cast aspersions from here about how I'm sure they'll say "well only 2% of users don't send telemetry, so whatever data we get from it lets us drive all our development".
Edited to add: From the bug, you can go into about:config and add a New>Boolean pref "toolkit.telemetry.coverage.opt-out" and set it to true to opt out of this totally-not-telemetry telemetry.
