Let's say team A is on the free-throw line to shoot the second of two free throws while trailing by two points with three seconds to go in the game. AP arrow is in Team A's favor.
In theory, if B1 violates, shooter A1 would be SMART to also violate, thus creating the double violation, which would give the ball back to Team A with three seconds to play and a chance to go for a tie or for a win with a three-pointer.

It's not really a glitch. It's just another great reason for Team B to follow the rules. I know, I know, why reward Team A for violating? But really, if Team B doesn't violate in the first place, Team A doesn't get this opportunity.
