According to B23.8, "Rooftops are treated the same as another building floor 
level at the next higher half-level elevation except as amended below."

Even though you probably have a good point from a "reality" standpoint, I 
see nothing in B23.8-.88 that changes A9.21.  Based on that, I would say 
that the restricted CA penalties would have to apply to Rooftop Locations.

I am unaware of any other exceptions, but perhaps this is a good question 
for Perry... or His Royal Taterness...   ;-)
