I asked a GM and he said it was alright,

GMs don't have a clue. There used to be another way to replace certain game art by putting files in the Interface folder that was removed.
I knew about MPQs and was uncertain of their legality. I talked to a GM who told me that while it might not be a violation of the ToU, Blizz can still cancel my account for it if they want and suggested I better remove the MPQ instead of risking it.
Conclusion:
1) Two GMs contradicting each other, usually means they have no clue/internal policy for these kind of things
2) One of the GMs is correct, the other one is wrong. I didn't see your GM conversation but I can say that the GM i talked to at least seemed to have a clue about what I was talking about.
