Given that the whole point of the commitment to the communication was to evade a future gag order, I'm not sure what to tell you. It does sound like immovable object meets irresistable force, but it's a Catch-22 of the "cypherpunk's" own making.
The court can't compel you to lie. The court can compel you to not communicate about a gag order, and enforce that with contempt of court. So if you don't choose to "lie" (since again, we all understand the purpose of the communication is not as a factual statement but rather to signal whether a gag order is received) they can still hold you accountable for it.
