IMHO, you are completely correct. UMC is a foundry and, as such, needs very high yields on an extremely wide variety of chips. Their process just isn't going to be optimized for clock speed

Exactly. UMC has to yield well across a whole host of products from many different customers on standard cell, custom and even gate arrays. They can not optimize for 1 customer. That's why I think this must be for the K6-2 which is no longer leading edge.
