From the Q&A and related discussion, my understanding was that if your blocker exists for blocking shots, the cheesecaked wall would be perfectly legal.
If the cheesecake wall exists singularly to block/interfere with cameras, it wouldn't be allowed.



EDIT-
To get this post back on topic, If I were the GDC I would eliminate rules based on intent. Things either happen or they don't, but there's quite a bit that we didn't mean to do.
