Here's the clause of the Bill, pre Kinnock amendment...
... and here's the form of the Kinnock amendment...
... and it doesn't, as I read it, affect the application for the extension, it simply imposes obligations on MPs as to what to do during that extension...
Those obligations are, during any extension, (1) to debate the so-called WAB and (2) (I think) to vote on whether to adopt the WAB but can't (3) as a matter of constitutional principal include an obligation to adopt the WAB, or (4) to leave the WAB unamended...
Standing back, it doesn't kibosh the Bill; it makes the grant of an extension (I would say) more likely; and (speaking as someone who wouldn't support the WA) it mandates a thing that as a matter of good governance would be pretty sensible anyway.

So. As you were.
Here's an alternative view (although I prefer mine). Either way, the amendment is nothing to worry about.
