Sadly, I don't think it would surprise any of us if it existed...Don't worry, I thought the same thing. :0
I still think the FAA can get you because the manual is a "FAA approved document". Although kind of a mute point because the required background check for any 121 carrier would show the violation or violation of drug and alcohol policy.
I could see both sides of the argument. On one side there was no FAR violation so there should be no certificate action. On the other side I have heard that since the GOM is signed off and approved by the POI which represents the FAA then the GOM is as "enforceable" as the FARs. I haven't seen anything in writing or references as to what would happen FAA wise in a situation where someone broke a GOM policy that is more restrictive than an existing FAR although the FAR was not broken.
On another note but still related-
All of the DOT Ptests and breathalizers I have taken have stated .02% as DOT max. Never been an issue, but I have always wondered what would happen if I fell somewhere between the DOT and FAA limits???

If I remember correctly, FAR 121 is written as a "generic template" to model your GOM/FOM. If your company has a more restrictive policy, then that becomes your "custom" FAR 121 and I believe that Feds can violate you based on that.
I'm sure the FAA could force their case against a pilot breaking their company's FOM/GOM/whateveryoucallit. When the government flexes, it's hard (and expensive) to overcome....
