But the timeline is unclear to me. If they notified you via e-mail, and then immediately turned on IP logging. So... you'd go and check your e-mail, learn about the third-party request, but by then it's too late as your IP address has already been logged?

If someone is so sensitive about leaking their IP address and they access some service with their real IP and relying on a service's promise to not log it they already are not very careful to begin with.
Techcrunch already went over this and the law allows you to delay notifying the person so it is in effect a worthless statement to make since all authorities would simply tell them not to notify the user.
