It varies per dealer and per case.

I'm with you, although it's misleading to say "it's up to the dealer", since the warranty decision is BMWNA's, not the dealer's ... but the dealer does do the discovery, so it is up to them on how they characterize the issue - and there I totally agree with you.
That said, sometimes a BMWNA engineer happens to be at the dealership, or BMWNA decides to ask more questions, or, or, or, and the dealer's hands are tied.
The distinction is important is because some people think, "hey my dealer is mod friendly and everyone's doing JB4s so I'm golden!"
No, you're still taking a big warranty risk, you've just controlled as many variables as you can, one of them being a mod-friendly dealer,
but ultimately it's up to BMWNA.
