I think the inspector was in error and he should be open to reviewing this issue with the contractor. I would not identify the bathroom as the bedroom. Sometimes it's easier to wire the bedroom and the master bath lighting and the closets on the same circuit and the bathroom lighting and closet end up with optional AFCI protection. I can not find anything in the '03 MRC that would ask for AFCI protection on anything except the bedrooms.
