Clearly, 2 (i) and (ii) above would result in opposing guidance for the same approach under identical outside conditions. Hence the argument stands that the premise of 2) is false, and so AMC2 SPO.OP.116 (B) should be interpreted as being applicable to any form of temperature compensation, in a broader sense.

Yes. When I read the 116.d.2.i from the top it says it applies to "baro VNAV" as opposed to compensated systems in particular. In para B there is no mention of compensated systems, hence I consider B as 'applicable to baro VNAV with or without automatic temperature compensation', as in: 'do not temperature correct FAF or DA in either case'.
