I can see forbidding something that is permitted,  but not permitting 
something that is forbidden.

If those who do not eat Gebrokts are doing it, because they are 
concerned about chometz,  then how can making Gebrokts be permitted 
on any of the first 7 days of Pesach,  when the issur of chometz is 
D'Oraisa?   How can making Gebrokts on the 7th day of  Pesach be 
permitted,  even if one might have a guest show up this year on 
Friday afternoon who eats Gebrokts.  According to those who do not 
eat Gebrokts,  one is dealing with a possible issur.
