Passport before comune transcription? (SF Consulate)

Hello All, Is there anyone here who obtained passport from SF consulate before their comune transcribed their records? I recently became an Italian citizen through marriage. At our oath ceremony, the consular officer (who has since moved back to Italy) told us we don’t necessarily need to wait for the comune to finish transcribing our records to make passport appointments as some comune take a long time. But at my passport appointment, the person reviewing said because my comune still hasn’t transcribed my records, they will put my application on hold. I told her what we were told at the oath ceremony and she just shrugged. I’m now finding through the FB group that there are at least some who have obtained passports before their comune finished transcribing the records. Also, consulate website doesn’t say anything about transcribing records, just that the applicant has been entered in AIRE for at least 30 days, which is the case for me as the consulate registered us as part of the process. Debating how much do I want to push back and risk antagonizing the consulate people right off the bat. Suggestions?
