I believe that the FIDE wording of G2 was deliberate. It is intended to 'encourage' tournaments to use incremental times.
Chess Scotland decided that in the absence of increments allowing claims in the last two minutes would be the default position in tournaments UNLESS an organiser decided otherwise. This is also the position in England and I believe Wales.
I don't understand Phil's 'big minus' near the end of a game. Arbiters now have to apply a 75 move rule and watch for draws by repetition where the position occurs 5 times in 9 moves.
