No matter where the grounding and grounded conductors are bonded as per your local "flavor" of the code it should still only be in ONE location.
Having worked in several different states I'm sort of used to the seemingly arbitrary administration/interpretation of the NEC in differing localities. Depending on your local code you actually might be required to continue the GEC through the meter grounded connductor bond point and into the main panel to attach to the grounding conductor bar/panel can.
Some locals require the GEC (both rod and water if seperate) to terminate in the meter neutral bonding point. They also forbid a seperate grounding conductor from the meter to the panel. The neutral is the ground for the panel and the bonding jumper installed by the factory must be used to ground the panel and to give the panel grounding bar a path to the GEC.
As I understand it this is to facilitate the the operation of the service surge suppressors required by these locals (frequent lightning strike areas) and to shorten/limit the path of fault current in the event of a lightning strike on the utility side.
I hope this makes sense to you, after thinking about it for a while it finally did to me.....err....sort of...
Irregardless, you should follow what your local AHJ says, they may actually have a reason for it (Usually the local utilities wishes) and even if they don't?...."resistance is futile" (Borg qoute)
