It doesn't clash (or even crash) at all.
From the T&C's you quoted:
(2) hotel expenses are not included in passenger
fares, except that carrier may absorb such expense
under the following conditions:
...snipped...
(b) at any points where carrier's flight connects
with another of its flights, or with the
flight of another carrier, provided that:
(i) the passenger, before arrival at a
connecting point between flights of the
same or another carrier is ticketed
onward from such point, whether on a
confirmed space or requested basis or
holds confirmed space onward from such
points;
(ii) such expenses shall not be absorbed
beyond the departure of the next
scheduled flight of the carrier on which
the passenger is ticketed and holds
confirmed space or beyond 24 hours after
arrival at the connecting point,
whichever is earlier,
Note the part I highlighted - MAY, not WILL. Since the CX T&C's say that they MAY (not WILL) but the fare rules of the fare you are using say they WON'T, there is no clash if they do not cover the expenses.
