I'm pretty sure that the support is intended to allow a server address
space to access the FBA device, not to allow allocation to an
unprivileged job.

Absolutely! An authorized server address space will be necessary to allow non-privileged programs to do FBA I/O. The requirements of the IOSFBA service are:

*01* ENVIRONMENT:
*      Dispatchable unit mode: Task mode.
*      Minimum authorization: Supervisor state, PSW Key 0.
*      AMODE:            31- or 64-bit.
*      ASC mode:         Primary.
*      Cross Memory Mode: PASN=HASN=SASN.
*      Interrupt status: Enabled for I/O and external interrupts.
*      Locks:            No locks held.
