My totally uninformed speculation is worth way less than $0.02, but -

Dan says he discovered the attack by accident.  Mapping a sequence of TXID's
into a rainbow table is not something one does on a whim.  Moreover, if the
attack you just proposed works against TXID's, then it ought to just as
likely work against source ports as well.

For my money, if he says he discovered it by accident, then Dan means to say
that he was looking at a graph of some sort at the time.
