Also, I once had an LS-3 that was registered Experimental despite being
TC'ed.

So, your understanding of the rule is correct - we're just boring the
hell out of RAS with this academic discussion is all. This really is
academic because I've personally never seen this applied in the case
of a glider; I believe the rule exists only to keep the aircraft that
are temporarily in experimental R&D or Exp. Show Compliance under part
43 while they fly off the test flight requirements.

Many Thanks!

I have to echo this as well. I find RAS vastly informative AND
entertaining! I also will never own a TC'd glider (again). When the
HP-24 is done the plan is for her to be my retirement ship. I'll be
able to do all the work myself and stay as far away from the local A&I
as I can. Of course I have friends who are A&P's and I will always
have a second pair of eyes to look the ship over.
