According to the IAABO referee exam, question #77:
A-1 while airborne, catches the ball attempting to prevent a live ball from going out of bounds. A-1 throws the ball to the floor, returns to the court, recovers the ball and dribbles.
This is not considered a legal play.
The difference that I see on this one and the other example above is he catches the ball versus bats it and throws it to the floor, thus initiating a dribble. In the act of recovering the ball, he terminates the dribble and then starts to dribble again..... alas, double dribble violation.
The exam cites rule 4, Section 15, Article 3.
Is my reasoning correct?

If you (or, more accurately, the writer of the question) thought that throwing the ball to the floor was the start of a dribble, then the violation occurred as soon as the player touched the boundary line. See 9-3 Question.
If it was an interrupted dribble, then your reasoning is correct.
