No different than the flexie wing; passes the load test, but obviously bends on camera down the straight. The FIA measures static compression, but all engines expand, creating some degree of dynamic compression.

That the FIA didn't figure this out does not mean teams are cheating, in any way. The FIA could very simply state no engine shall expand more that 2% or whatever. They didn't, and the smart engineers took advantage. Bully for them.
