When they are on opposite sides this area seems to either disappear or becomes located directly in front of the team areas on each side. See rule 1-5-1,2,3 + the exception.
It's always my undertanding that the area in front of the team area is the official area when they are on opposite sides.

Second, the way I read the rule that I posted above is that the team members may withdraw after reporting without penalty, but once they have been beckoned onto the field by a referee they must enter the game.
That's what I've thought as well.
