If they are not rated 240 there is no way I would connect them to 240.

They would run much hotter and could be potential source of fire or injury.

As long as all the conductors are rated at least as high as the over current protection nothing in 240.21 applies.

The EE has to read the definition of tap conductors in 240.2

I doubt there are amendments as often as inspectors just go ahead and enforce what they feel is correct.

The NESC (the typical code of the utility) also has clearance requirements.

Again, have you looked at 90.2(B)?

Did they just have some extra ink to use up or does it actually mean what it clearly and in no uncertain terms says?

If the service point happens to be at the pole instead of the weather head and the customer owns and controls those conductors than 230.24 would apply.
