what comes to mind, is how an interceptor weapon can fire at units that come from reserves - which also includes units coming from out of drop pods, right?

reserves, scout, infiltrate, outflank - ALL deny charging the turn they arrive/utilize the rule.

Squad deepstrikes in via assault vehicle; assault vehicle say they may assault - no mention of deepstriking/reserves prohibiting.

However, the unit *IS* using the reserves 'rules' since they are using Deep Strike, so must now have the restrictions that reserves enforces upon them, too.

Bjorn comes in a Lucius Pod, but may not assault the turn he drops in, instead waiting inside the Pod til turn 2 to make it to CC.

Actually, I suggest you go read the assault vehicle rule. It specifically mentions deepstrike/reserves as preventing units from assaulting.

Last Q/A on this page of the FAQW pretty much confirms the that hungry for blood is useless as it is now.
