That's pretty much standard procedure.
Whether or not the regulations are nebulous, practical interpretations of them vary. Statute is interpreted by case law, so that seems a reasonable path when seeking guidance. But unless the BATFE is an exception, it is possible for individual agents to make incorrect calls in situations for which their knowledge of the law is incomplete, or simply incorrect. Once a forensic juggernaut is set in motion, it tends to be difficult to stop, so it makes some sense not to get the ball rolling in the first place, even at the risk of over-applying the precautionary principle.
