I believe your interpretation is incorrect. The offence is for knowingly landing with less than the final reserve without you having done anything about ie- you didn't divert to somewhere en-route or you didn't advise atc that you are minimum/mayday fuel.
If you declare and land with less, I believe that's ok. I don't see where in the proposed rules that doing such is strict liability. It's not doing it that ends up strict liability.
In short;
91.320 (1)d says there are procedures to be followed in the MOS when specified amounts are reached.
91.320 (2) says you that if you don't meet a requirement of section (1) then you contravene the regs.
Therefore, if you don't follow the procedure you contravene the regs. Conversely if you follow the procedure you do not contravene the regs.
