I have to study your comments further, but I believe the "compression" part of the rule is intended to avoid automatic outs for non-ejection departures. My OP was about applying the compression or not.
Yes, if full roster, which means no substitutes, an ejection would be a forfeit.
My "had not played at all" was about the effect on lineup and applying the rule by an umpire. Stats are an aside.
