I do the same as you, and agree with your interpretation. However, I vaguely recall once encountering what you did (or reading about that here), but don't remember the outcome. It doesn't make sense to me, either, the way it's worded. I think I'd try pushing back, but if they insist, see if it can be done electronically, although I imagine you've already thought about that.
At this point in our notary careers, I guess we shouldn't be surprised to run into reader comprehension issues, at any level. I suppose there's always the possibility of some issue at the state law level for the lender, but who knows?!
Good luck!
