It's traveling. I don't know why many officials ignore it but it is traveling.
I suspect that sometimes officials (myself included) ignore it, because they didn't see it. A quick spin move toward a shot with a couple of defenders moving in to block the shot is a lot to keep track of. And if the dribbler spins away from the ref, the whole thing can be out of sight. When I get brought up short, I'll try to pay more attention to the next one.
