I have to admit that I don't fully understand the Shakh and all of his ins 
and outs on this one. Having said that, I have a problem with your 
interpretation. The Sha"kh talks about two situations - one where someone 
doesn't eat something because of din and one in which he doesn't eat because 
of minhag. He gives rules for both, rules for the host and rules for the 
guest. But according to what you are saying, as long as someone doesn't hold 
that the food is assur al pi din, then he should eat and be done with it. 
Why tehn did the Sha"kh give all these rules and conditions? He could have 
said for example "If you don't eat non-glatt meat because you hold like the 
Beit Yosef, than you can't eat that meat ever. If you don't because you want 
to be makhmir, than go ahead, bon appetit".

My reading of it would indicate that where the person has reason to think 
there is a "hetter" to be found in consuming food which he is not noheg to 
normally eat, and he normally resides in a place which isn't noheg to 
consume that food item and is now in a place that is noheg to consume that 
food item, that he is able to eat it?
