Nope, the dribbler doesn't give up player control when he steps on the line. The player maintained player control by immediately continuing his dribble after he stepped on the line. That's why the OOB violation is now called.
The key difference in the 2 plays is NO player control in the first case versus no loss of player control in the second case.
