I think Dave has it right.
I'm trying to recall an IP that I called for a double touch that ended up with a pitch being delivered. I can't remember one.
When the IP is called, pitchers almost always stop their delivery. At that point, the call of a dead ball is appropriate.
IPs called with a pitch being made would more likely be a result of foot fouls. Those almost always result in a pitch being thrown. Sometimes, if called by the BU and the PU didn't hear the call, things can get a bit confusing. But just take the time and sort things out.
