It is an SVG loading indicator that's broken when embedded on the archive page, nothing to do with NYT trying to obfuscate archival tools.

Looking at the code, there is nothing malignant going on, it's simply a common CSS + SVG bug. Most people wouldn't know how to intentionally write this so that it breaks on one page, but works on the other. Occam's razor etc.
