The way I see it the RSO is the "police" for the range. Just like police can carry where the rules say the general citizenry can't, I figure the RSO should be able to carry where the customers can't.
Another way to look at it would be like saying that a gun shop that doesn't allow the customers to carry guns shouldn't allow the employees to carry either. I think that if the shop owner/operator wants to ban customer carry but allow employee carry it's his decision. The idea that all his rules have to apply equally to both customers and employees doesn't make any sense at all to me.
Seems to me that if the range owner/operator designates an RSO and says he can carry there's not much basis for saying he shouldn't because of the range rules. The range owner/operator makes the rules.
