I completely understand the quandary you are describing,
bottom_rung.
CAP774 it seems, in purporting to "clarify" responsibilities (or as the cynic might argue, simply protect backsides), has instead needlessly complicated the issue and inadvertently delivered such contradictions as you describe.
I think I would probably not go for a PS in Class G ... unless, of course, I caught you unawares and combined it with a request for a QDL QDM - or even a QGH - approach ... (just to keep you on your toes!
