Not so difficult really.....
When the team mate of the player inbounding the ball goes out of bounds, even incidentally, the violation immediately occurs making the ball dead and there is no advantage gained by the inbounding team. This is by specific rule (9-2-12).
Conversely, I believe the POE is aimed at situations while the ball is in play where a player intentionally leaves the court & returns in an attempt to gain an advantage -ie: post player going OOB along baseline to get around defender that has established inside position, then coming back onto court to receive pass.
Personally, I would prefer it to be a violation as opposed to a "T". As it was with the swinging elbows, you probably won't see it called much unless it's really blatant.
