I think that the rationale is that, if you don't have FT's, and if you then re-set at the end line, the team throwing the ball in now hasn't lost an advantage that they originally had- i.e.-the advantage of running the end line. If there are FT's taken that do let the shooting team retain possession afterwards, then the team that is throwing the ball in after the FT's are over never did have the option or advantage of running the end line- therefore they can't lose an advantage that they never had. They would actually gain an advantage if you let them run the end line.

That's weak. LOL!
BTW, last year's book does not say common foul.
7-5-7
A team retains this privilege if the scoring team commits a violation or foul (before the bonus is in effect) and the ensuing throw-in spot would have been on the end line.
