However, if the visiting scorer sits on or directly behind the team bench, I'm likely treating him/her as bench personnel with respect to penalizing unsporting behavior.

I would treat them as such if they are sitting on the bench. But if they are not sitting at the scorer's table, then I am not going around trying to penalize them for their behavior and give Ts as a result. I will just have them removed if it is that bad and it would have to get really bad.
I do not think the rule in question gives us any authority to penalize the person that is the visiting team book any more than I would penalize the home book if they acted up and sitting clearly at the table.
