I believe that this says to return to the original throw-in location and administer the ensuing throw-in from there if this location is one of the eight magic spots, but if not we need to move the location to the nearest of the eight magic spots.

I'm going to assume -- more like "hope," really -- that what they're getting at is if the original throw-in is not from a designated spot,
i.e., a throw-in during which you can run the endline, then the post-violation spot will be from the nearest (marked) designated spot ... which is already customary for violations during run-the-endline TIs, as we all know.
I wholeheartedly agree the unclear wording has opened up the valid speculation in this thread -- and created this opportunity for horrifically cumbersome naming suggestions for the eight marked spots -- but I'm hoping against hope they're just talking about the endline ones after made/awarded goals and have just done a poor job messaging/wording it so far.
