What does this mean ? Does it mean that to be accessible, the form
label must, somehow, be clickable ? Lynx and braille readers spring to
mind.

I have not been following this thread - life is too short - but I scanned
this message and read the above. I think that the author of the quoted text
is probably referring to the fact that under some OS/Browser combinations
the fact that explicit labeling of form controls has been used is revealed
by a flashing cursor. There are of course other ways to check this but I
imagine the author was just being helpful - if my interpretation is correct
(and I haven't read the article) then perhaps he did not explain this fully.
