However, if a hotel does *not* have an MLOS requirement for the BAR/Flex rate, then they cannot impose such a requirement on any sort of *p stay, correct?

I'm asking because the Westin Palace Madrid has a two-night MLOS for check-in on September 21, 2013. There is no such requirement for the Flex/BAR rate.

Is this permissible?

My understanding of the rules is the same as yours for stays on points, although you should get the Lurkers to verify this and possibly help you. However, C&P might be different because the hotel isn't required to offer such rates even when standard rooms are available.
