> For instance, lighter roasts have more internal moisture than darker roasts, and the latter is more prone to clumping

I suspect you might have it backwards regarding the issue being limited to non-traditional light roasts.

Lighter roasts channel more than dark roasts and also make more of a mess coming out of a grinder (more static).
It says in the linked article that darker roasts have less internal moisture content (obviously, they've been roasted longer) and therefore produce more static/clumping.
It does not say dark roasts have more static, and in the real world light roasts are much harder to brew.
