I think going to the Bishop is a good idea. But the problem is you get "thanks for bringing this up. I'll take care of it."

THen two weeks later, nothing has happened.

Then what?
SHe did offer the correction, but Bishops can reflect as well and he may not appreciate the effect the decision had on the members. I think it is always a good idea to give the bishop a chance to make it right, even a second or third time. I also have no problem saying you are very alarmed and need to hear back very soon, say by the end of the week (or whatever) and then move on if that doesn't happen.

There is no magic recipe, I just think you should give the bishop a chance to re-consider in a calmer moment. Telling him the policy error when he is acting is not a good time to get that sort of reflection.
