There is a clear difference between the two circumstances in the regulations, and associated penalties.

That’s a little harsh. It is often, even if technically incorrectly, referred to as unsafe release.
Even then the sub point part of the regulation isn’t titled unsafe. It doesn’t seem false to describe the whole of 28.13 as unsafe release reg. Your splitting it up gives the impression that they are different regulations as opposed to a sub set of the same one. Albeit they are more specific on the penalty for one of part than the others where they give themselves flexibility. Presumably to allow for the potential differences in situation (timing, severity, track, other circumstances).
I feel a colloquial use of unsafe does not demonstrate the opinion is any less valid.
