One of the things we enjoy about running the site is receiving news or tutorials about things in Final Cut Pro X that we would never think about. This is one example, a very clever trick for making progressive footage appear interlaced in an interlaced timeline.

I realise that I am totally out of my depth here, so forgive me if I am talking rubbish, but what is wrong with just creating an FCP project as 1080i, then dropping your standard progressive clips into it, then exporting as ProRes 422? When I check with MediaInfo, it reports the exported file as Scan Type: Interlaced.
My other approach is to use a 1080p Project, export it then put it through Compressor to convert to 1080i. I might even add that Compressor recipe to FCP outputs.
Are these approaches flawed?

Your approaches described in your post are valid.
The approach described in the main article a bit of a hack and I wouldn't recommend it.
Any progressive clips you add to an interlaced Project/timeline are interlaced on export (or after rendering). To "force" interlacing on individual clips (e.g. if you wanted to export an individual clip as interlaced) you could select the clip and change the Field Dominance Override setting in the Settings metadata view in the Info Inspector.
