You guys walk along the synthetic line. This is Ex and all Ex work this way... There are no restrictions mentioned therefore it is universal... etc.
I will fall back to good old 2Ed practice here, mentioned by... Merri maybe?... and use common sense.
My common sense says that these abilities are excellent examples of what the character is able to by some means.
Since it's not a showstopper (and I can't really imagine this being an advantage or disadvantage at any point) I don't want to break the momentum of the game on wording and I don't care (rule-wise) whether the druid is crawling, squatting, scurrying on all fours, etc.
Silly may be OK. But when it becomes stupid I will interfere.
I really cannot bring any better example than what I already did by mentioning how careful steps may preserve grass unbroken and how I cannot imagine such a careful crawl but something else popped into my mind. Does the druid retain this ability if loses all limbs? Just theoretically since this game doesn't involve any sharpness effects... yet (maybe I should flesh out that part in chapter three... or five). Or less drastically speaking, assuming your character has an Ex climb ability claiming that you can move your hustle speed on any surface without a climb check. Does that mean that you can climb any surface without the use of hands while wearing full plate (read: rigid boots)? This is just another hypothesis and as I mentioned above, I will use common sense to see if something is truly senseless.
