Then the rest of rule 32 doesn't apply either - the part about "what's in
the proposal becomes part of the ruleset". So if in fact a Charter Prop. is
not a normal prop, then it is incapable of changing the ruleset at all.

Besides, the Fight Club proposal was proposed before there was such thing as
a Charter Prop.; if it wasn't a normal proposal, then it had no business
being on the Ballot to begin with.
