There is an inconsistency between these two points - it actually can be read
to imply that the Chair bypasses the ExecD and micro-manages the Secretariat.

How about 
   The IETF Chair has primary responsibility for supervising the work of
   the IETF Executive Director and through him or her, the Secretariat, ... ?

Also:

This is slightly inconsistent with the IAB Charter, which
is BCP, and states that the IAB does have a liaison. Actually it's worse,
when I look at section 3.4 of RFC 2850 - it says
>>    The chair of the IAB and another full IAB member (other than the IETF

(i.e. the IAB Chair is defined as a liaison, not as ex officio).

Otherwise, I think the draft states the facts as I experienced them 
in the past.
