I think that wording with the "exception" is from the OSX developer program. As far as I can remember, the iOS info sheet has always been taxative with no exceptions about executable code. Of course all wordings allow Apple to start rejecting a previous approved app if they feel the code/scripts the app is now downloading are in violation.
The explanation in the rollout.io site about why they are fine is intentionally deceptive. They have the guts to link to a document that says "An Application may not download or install executable code." and then quote more friendly excerpts in the hopes that you won't read the actual doc. I can't imagine why Apple has let this go on for so long.
