The way I see it that's 24 hours exactly (not over) so it should be allowed as a transit. Will the airlines agree?
I guess that depends on how persuasive you are. I agree with your interpretation though, and armed with the star file and some gentle brow-beating, you should be able to prevail. I have no direct experience of this myself though.
