This wording landed without comment as part of #225. However, I'm not entirely clear on the exception it's making. It may be trying to say something like:

Just because you were authorized to manage that container when you created it doesn't mean you're still authorized to perform operation X on it now. Maybe you've lost privileges in the meantime.

But as far as compliance testing is concerned, the same test harness will be calling create and the subsequent operations. That harness will be reporting MUST violations if the runtime refuses a subsequent operation, and removing the access-control loophole makes it more obvious that the runtime's refusal is non-compliant.
