This retaining the running of the end line priviledge was a recent rules change. (maybe three years ago) The rules committee did not intend for the right to run the end line to be retained if the defense committed an OOB violation (this is clear from the case book plays) only a kick, fist, breaking of the plane violation (or a foul), but unfortunately, they did not use precise wording in writing the changed rule, so it appears confusing. Your partner simply got trapped by the poor wording. TriggerMN is correct.
