I think you are right
The interpretation varies from state to state and even from college to college. If a bunch of people want to get together, we can look into the law and see if a class action is warranted based upon Federal grants and law. I doubt very much that it would be.
I will brief Kashmir when he calls me on what I am planning to do right now.

Re: Request for In-State Tuition Treatment for I-485 Pending Students
Dear *:
I am writing on behalf of our client *, and generally on behalf of our community of concerned people. We hope you will reconsider your policy of disallowing in-state tuition payment for students whose I-485 (Adjustment of Status to Permanent Resident) applications are pending. Fairness and equity impels a change in policy.
The long, arduous process of obtaining US Lawful Permanent Residence status (“Green Card”) involves several steps. The least complex of these steps is the last one: Adjustment of Status, Form I-485. By the time an applicant arrives at this step, usually, all major issues in his or her eligibility have been resolved. In a predominant majority of these cases, favorable adjudication is merely a matter of time. Unfortunately, time has become a major hurdle for these applicants’ lives and future.
The US Immigration Service (USCIS, earlier known as INS) has allowed backlogs of several years to develop in these applications. On behalf of our community, we have filed a lawsuit against these inordinate delays. This lawsuit is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (ImmigrationPortal.Com, et al. v. Tom Ridge, et al., Civil Action: 03-2606, 23 Dec. 2003). Brief information about the lawsuit is attached.
We urge you to reconsider your policy and permit students who are awaiting I-485 adjudications to pay in-state tuition rates. Many of these students will be unable to timely begin or continue their studies if your office is disinclined to grant this request. We, and concerned members of our community would welcome an opportunity to discuss these matters further if you should so choose.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
Rajiv S. Khanna

Re: Fafsa Definition of a Eligible non-citizen
551 is green card.
It means H-4/L-2 are not included. But see Kashmir's post for the rest.
