They are both just doing their job.

The lady at the RTA was correct about it just being a 'permit to move' under the old system, but because the new system is still so 'out of the ordinary', she probably doesn't know that it's changed from that. From her end it's still a bit of a hassle.

The number of H-plated cars on the road makes up such a small percentage of the total number, that it's only just a blip on the radar. So much so that many RTA staff & police have had little or no experience in handling it.
