Their plan involves dividing Washington DC into a state, and only a few blocks, and govt, buildings designated as the old Washington DC city, so it (the city of DC; the capitol) technically does not fall into the borders of any state.
If I recall what Ted Cruz had to say on the matter correctly, a state challenge in the supreme court based on something similar to what you just stated (the original land treaty between states/feds) would be the most likely approach used to stop the democrat plan. While that may be the best chance for stopping DC statehood, it's still an unsettling option in my opinion.
