This is an illegal forward pass under 7-5-2c and an illegal touch. 7-5-2c does not require that the pass be incomplete, although the use of the phrase "intentional grounding" certainly gives that impression. In the "old days", illegal touching was also listed under the definition of illegal forward passes and the enforcement spot was the spot of the pass not the illegal touch. This was changed sometime in the mid 90's and 7-5-13 was added and the enforcement spot was changed to the spot of the touch. I'll admit that I didn't think of this as a possible multiple foul situation but I can see how it could happen.
