AIUI, the most significant carrier rule applies to contractual baggage allowance, not the additional baggage allowance granted to frequent flyers and would therefore not be relevant here since the contractual allowance is nil on a light fare.

[edit]: the IATA document that you reference explicitly confirms this at the bottom of p. 8 [/edit]
