You're suggesting that I could have a 30 round magazine sitting next to a semi-auto rifle capable of receiving it in my A-cat(!) safe, provided it was also sitting next to a bolt action rifle capable of receiving it, and that Police would be cool with that?

Correct. You only come unstuck if you are found in possession of that mag, and the A-cat semi at a time when you are not also in possession of the bolt firearm it also fits. For instance, you are found with only the A cat semi in your car, along with the Hi cap mag, which you had forgotten was still in the car from a previous trip where you had been using the bolt rifle with it....
