The play on words really doesn't work well at all with the inconsistent refusal to use the word Tibet (they haven't figured out a new demonym for xizang it seems)

I’ve seen this discussed. The line now is ‘Tibetan’ is okay because ‘Tibet’ still refers to the historic area and culture, while ‘Xizang’ is only for the modern AR. It didn’t escape my attention that it took a while for this to be addressed, so clearly there was a decision made that filtered down.
