Am I missing anything here?
Only the law of unintended consequences. The entitlement to compensation for a pure delay is not actually in the Regulation, and the oddity (along with lots of other oddities in the way that the Regulation now works) arises because of the way that the Regulation was "interpreted" to create that entitlement.
