I wouldn't call it one, unless the brake was previously entirely missing. Of course, he should tell him the brake is operational.
Perhaps the OP could just ask the guy if he felt he was out of line and report back here.
Maybe I'm way off base.

To me (and most of you) adjusting a brake lever angle 2 mm is a major change.
To a casual rider, making a busted brake operational would (seem to me) not be a violation of his/her personal preferences, boundaries, etc...
