And, therefore, the boundary line is still out of bounds.

Nope. You're missing where the boundary is. The boundary line is where inbounds meets out of bounds. I'm not talking about a two inch stripe. The 2 inch, 3 inch, or 2 foot stripe around the playing floor is not the boundary line. Yes, this stripe is OOB. But the inner edge of the line, just as is defined in the rule above is the boundary line. If the ball bounces on the boundary line, it's bounced on the inbounds side as well as the out of bounds side. It's impossible for a ball to bounce on the line where these two areas meet and not hit inbounds.

Tony, 
1-2-1: The playing court shall be marked with sidelines and end lines....The sidelines and end lines shall be a minimum of 2 inches in width.
4-9-1: Boundary lines of the court consist of end lines and sidelines.
Granted that the inbound/out-of-bound line has neither width, nor depth, but only length.
You may still bounce the ball on the boundary line, and be out of bounds, unless there is insufficient air in the ball and then it won't bounce so good.

Okay mick, I'll re-phrase my post if it will make my meaning more clearly. But I find it difficult to believe that you can't understand what I'm saying.
If the thrower bounces the ball on the inside edge of the boundary line, the edge that separates inbounds and out of bounds, it is a violation. The ball cannot be bounce on this edge without touching inbounds.
