Interesting, it might use a flaw in the Etherescan contract verification[1]. But in any case, when you expect a honeypot you can and should execute the contract off-chain[2] and examine the resulting state (specifically your account balances) before committing a real transaction. Wallets should really do this by default, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a lot of resources available for common goods projects like wallets, so we are stuck with primitive tools.
