Yeh I'm in the same boat as you. I didn't view it as a novelty pen and I ended up erasing a ton during the exam (so a regular pen would have been a big time mess). Of course had I known about the ink issue, I wouldn't have rolled the dice. I think being allowed to use a pencil is confusing. Maybe going forward CFA Institute just needs to formally say pencils are allowed, if indeed they are allowed.

I emailed CFA Institute today and made them aware of the issue. Waiting for a response. I'm feeling better though. I left a piece of paper in my car all day today that had Pilot Frixion ink on it and there was no fading.
