Andy, all you have to do is call your FSDO and ask for an opinion. *If
you ask, "Do I have to comply with my glider's AFM if I have an E&R

The person that issued my operating limitations has retired so I
cannot ask him for any interpretation. I will operate under the
limitations as issued, which are unambiguous in this regard, until
such time as the new FSDO staff decide to revoke them.

Thank you for your assistance in providing the applicable regulations
and precedent that support your position and for being so willing to
have a reasoned discussion of the issue.
