Probably doesn't really matter. There are quite a few fractions within the
inquisition to mood any discussion wether something is heretical or not.
Remember, there are inquisitor binding demons into people thus creating
daemon hosts. Those inquisitor are not heretics they are radicals. There
certainly are inquisitors who would think that using such a sinister
artifact is heretic but they will hardly try to excommunicate the
Ultramarines. And every artifact being used is thoroughly tested and blessed
to purge it of all taints. Also all the chapters don't acknoledge the
ministorum the way the rest of human kind does. They have their own belief.
If the Ultramarines say those Gauntlets are pure and good to use, who would
argue with them? While the inquisition have a formal superiosity over the
chapters it is more like two walls of a building. Both are necessary to
protect human kind. While chapters have been declared heretic it is nothing
done lightly. All politics are murky but those waters are far beyond that.
In short:
The question is not wether these Gauntlets are considered pure by the
inquisition or the ministorum but by the Ultramarines. They argue that those
Gauntlets were used by their patriach and so became something of an holy
icon. Afterall it is their belief and no one has the power (spiritual and
military wise) to change that. Well, unless of course some High Lord of
Terra throughs his weight around.
