The way the rule is worded it just says "US accessory catalog" and "STi brand" is just a part of that catalog. It does not say "performance" which is what is explicitly prohibited while "accessory" is explicitly allowed.

I haven't heard any protests in regards to it, but like I said I have seen people with them at Nats. The TRD bits are a little different I think, they are performance enhancing whereas I do not see a front lip being a performance enhancement.
I actually think the chances are very high of the STi under-spoilers surviving a protest. I'm no expert in protests, but the protester would have to provide clear evidence that it is not allowed, or provides a performance benefit, right? On the other hand, there is clear evidence that it is allowed
Anyways, Spring Nats is a good time to look into potential protests, so I'll have it on the car and ask around. I don't think it will be a big deal and worst case I will just take it off for Nats, not that I think I will be in contention for it to matter anyways :p
