The results of the enquiry are as follows:

The Anglirú is classified by the race organisers as a summit finish, one of six in the Vuelta. The points for the final climb are the finish line points.

You're right Gkam, the stage didn't finish at the HC point. But the rule that you quoted doesn't say that it has to; you'd be hard pressed to argue that this wasn't a 'mountaintop stage finish'

The rule exists to stop summit finish stage scores being unduly weighted towards the first few riders. It's applicable here.

I wouldn't be that hard pressed to be honest, they did 600 metres downhill  19

Ah well, its all good then, only lost a few points on those around me
