Firstly, it's really not that clear. Secondly, the courts haven't exactly shied away from tortuous interpretations of the regulation to find in favour of the consumer on points like these.
Personally if I were in this situation I wouldn't have much hesitation about taking the argument to court. That's of course assuming there isn't case law on the point already, which I haven't checked.
