Personally I don't think Hama is that reliable of a source to say what you can and cannot do for bloodbending, for obvious reasons.Which is definitely why I prefer plot-hole rather than the whole "break the rules" idea. We really have no information on Bloodbending outside of what Hama told Katara.
Katara probably hated bloodbending so much she probably wanted it to get outlawed. It was only a matter of time before someone else discovered it and started spreading it around, which led to her vehemence in making it illegal (she could do that since she's, well, the Avatar's wife and all).
