By "rejection," do you imply that users of language tags (most of whom 
will not even see the actual subtag) will invent their own subtag in 
violation of BCP 47?

The laws you cited use the name "Valencian" to refer to this language.

a specific passage that states that Valencian and Catalan are two 
separate languages which are NOT mutually intelligible.
