I just received Rabbi Angel's reply. In short, he says that whereas
the Orthodox giyur candidate is on the track towards becoming a Jew,
non-Orthodox individuals who mistakenly believe they are Jews (R/C
converts, children of Jewish fathers, etc.) are not on that same
"right track", so they cannot be availed of Dayan Grossnass's ruling.

In order to argue further, I suppose that I (or someone else) would
have to look at Dayan Grossnass inside, and see what his reasoning is,
and whether his reasoning is exclusive to those on the track towards
being kosher Jews, or whether his reasoning can be extended to those
who are non-Jews due to shogeg, who mistakenly believe they are
already Jews.
