Because of player control ending, A1 has front court status while the ball still has backcourt status. In my opinion, as soon as A1 touches the ball again, the ball gains front court status. A1 then re-establishes control and dribbles the ball in the backcourt. Once the ball touches A1 again after the first initial touching after the interrupted dribble, a backcourt violation occurs.

I disagree. If he attempted to retrieve the ball and fumbled it, and then recovered, then you have a BC violation. But to just continue the dribble, as you describe, is not a violation. His dribble never stopped, it was just interrupted. Therefore, 4-4-6 still applies since the dribble never ceased.
