Sorry for not posting sooner, I've had a crazy week.
Yes I did speak with him. As it turns out the inspector who made the original call is the assistant inspector. The head inspector told me that he will often request GFCI protection for the fan but realizes it is not enforcable and that he would sign the card. I said no problem, and I reconfigured the wiring to the have the fan and the shower light be GFCI protected.
In the end everbody is happy and the installation is extra code compliant. I guess I could have doe it from the beginning but I just really wanted some clarification.
I've decided that from now on I will GFI fans and shower lights as a habit just because it really is a better installation and if you plan your circuit it should not cost and extra time or money.
