International connection times

I'm full of questions today. Can you tell I'm planning a trip?

NW says they won't ticket the following return:

LGW-MSP
12:05p – 3:00p
MSP-MEM
4:33p – 6:40p
MEM-FSM
7:25p – 8:40p

The reason is the MEM connection is < 60 minutes, which they say is required for an international flight. But by the time I'm in MEM, I've already gone through customs in MSP. MEM is just a normal domestic connection, and 45 minutes is always plenty of time. Any way around this?

And by the way, it's the only possible LGW-FSM routing on NW metal. FSM-LGW has plenty of availability.
