It's the and such contact is not a personal foul language that fouls everything up.

The "such contact is not a personal foul" means that it's not an airborne shooter returning to the floor after the ball passes through the basket. That's the only way to have a dead ball personal foul.

we should only penalize dead ball contact that rises to the level of an Intentional or Flagrant foul

I think that's correct.

In that case, the hard contact described originally has to be Flagrant (because the definition of Intentional foul states that excessive contact must be while the ball is live.)

I think that's incorrect. Excessive contact does not have to be during a live ball to be considered an Intentional Foul.
