Spending points on in-game effects is exactly what Impulse Buys is about, spending points to find money is pretty quintessentially an impulse buy (and B26 says these points are just spent and don't go on your character sheet; which is something GCA still does wrong, but I digress). Spending points to find money is really just a specific case of Player Guidance.

It's a bit frustrating that for the second time they have admitted it's a poor and unfair rule but leave the fix as an optional rule and not actually change it but at least it's there.

I am not sure what you are asking for, errata for the Basic Set?
