From the paper:
We imagine further that at the two ends A and B of the rod, clocks are placed which synchronize with the clocks of the stationary system, that is to say that their indications correspond at any instant to the ``time of the stationary system'' at the places where they happen to be. These clocks are therefore ``synchronous in the stationary system.'' I.e. the clocks you refer to in 2) as being not synchronized by either the moving or stationary observer were synchronized in the way you say is correct in 1). You seem to be contradicting yourself.
