I think that is quite a bit of overreach. It's like requiring peanut butter to contain another label that says contains peanuts

Requiring the extra labeling even when it seems redundant increases clarity for consumers and simplifies the rules. It's fine.
At least, I doubt that you can write a set of rules for declaring allergens that is shorter if you do include exceptions to the labeling requirements. And I think there's a pretty strong argument that treating the ingredients and allergens as separate sections makes the allergens easier to interpret than sometimes requiring reading both.
