If it can be judtified, then it's not an exception.

Or perhaps my words should be limited by more explicitly saying that a
minhag can't violate halakhah in a way that can't be justified.

In my "weighing factors" formulaion, minhag is a factor to be weighed,
and thus can counterbalance the need to find a justification.
