I think there has been a fundamental misunderstanding of the text in the editorial report.
The editorial report only indicated that these Hongmen Characters are CJK Unified Ideographs, i.e. they are not symbols.
There is no mention in the editorial report that the classification system proposed in the IRGN2634 was accepted as-is.
There is no golden status conferred to characters which are first initiated through a proposal from an individual contributor and characters which are submitted by member bodiesl
As part of the discussion process, IRG always has the right to amend or overturn its previous decisions upon discussion if there is unanimous agreement, or shall the need arise, a vote.
For example, IRG revises its unification rules (i.e. UCV/NUCV) every meeting. The PnP itself has also been revised many times.
It is not possible to claim that since IRG agreed to accept them as CJK Unified Ideographs, then they must be encoded without unification and without further discussion.
I suggest keeping this character in the M-set, and updating U+24172 to use 目 instead of 日. Kangxi Dictionary quotes from 《集韵》 and 《玉篇》 for this character, but the glyphs in those books use 目 instead:
The error in Kangxi seems to stem from 《字彙》 and 《正字通》.

Unification
Showing 15 comments.
Unify to 旅 (U+65C5), and suggest to add a new UCV for the right hand side.
This variation seems to be fairly systematic.

Unify to 助 (U+52A9)?
Same case as SAT-08616
Agree with Kushim. Add new UCV 婬 ~ ⿰女⿱爫𠙻.
⿰女⿱爫𠙻 is also not yet coded.
It is found in 《玉篇》 and 《類篇》.
(from MOE Variants Dictionary)
Unify to 䏣 (U+43E3)?
Same case as GZHSJ-0143
𮉼 is a variant of 冉:
There is another similar shape for 冉:
澈:
撤:
See: https://dict.variants.moe.edu.tw/dictView.jsp?ID=24895
Potentially unifiable to 𨽹.
Per UCV #485:
We can make a similar set glyphs for a new UCV.
Support unification to 倢 U+5022, with new UCV 𤴗 and 疌.
𤴗 and 疌 are variants without a doubt, and the first glyph is simply a stricter transliteration of the Shuowen seal glyph:
See also:
Unification to 讂.
Add new UCV 夐 with right hand side of SAT-09648.
Potentially unifiable to 䟠.
There is already one case in Extension A: U+4B85
Support unification to 蝱.
There are a huge number of variants involving 亡 and 亾, and the bulk of encoded ones are in Extension B:
㠩 U+3829 = 巟 U+5DDF
㡃 U+3843 = 㡆 U+3846
𧠬 U+2782C = 𧠰 U+27830
𮎰 U+2E3B0 = 荒 U+8352
𥞙 U+25799 = 𥡃 U+25843
𥿪 U+25FEA = 𥿼 U+25FFC
𩢯 U+298AF = 𩣇 U+298C7
There are some other unencoded examples:

Unification to 狃 (U+72C3) with new UCV 丑 and 丒?
U+247C1 𤟁 (Extension B, TF-3076) = U+5CF1 峱
U+2B788 𫞈 (Extension D, JH-JTB2FC) = U+677B 杻
⿰糹丒 is currently not coded but can be found at https://dict.variants.moe.edu.tw/dictView.jsp?ID=33170:
⿰金丒 is currently not coded but can be found at https://dict.variants.moe.edu.tw/dictView.jsp?ID=47095:
Unify to 邦 (U+90A6).
The evidences show ⿰龵阝 which should be unifiable with 邦 (U+90A6) without a doubt.
See U+26C25 (Ext B):

The error in Kangxi seems to stem from 《字彙》 and 《正字通》.
Another form of this character is ⿰睪毛.
