Interesting thread!
I am in the exact position that BEagle states in his original post:-
12 hour requirement (including 1 hr with an FI) satisfied early in the second year and I'm already signed off by an examiner, with the appropriate entry made by him in my licence and the correct form sent to the CAA. All before this "change" appeared in LASORS.
So I'd like to know whether the CAA will bounce my revalidation, or (worse) do nothing immediately but attempt to throw the book at me after the event if I come to their notice for some other reason.
I doubt it, since I've relied on their previous statements in LASORS, but something in writing from them now will certainly put the issue to bed once and for all.
BEagle: I'm very grateful that you have spotted this nonsense and drawn attention to it.
