It's not going to be a foul on the shooter in either situation. The defender does not have LGP, nor is he within his verticality.
Change the plays and have the defender doing the same thing, only not airborne. What do you have?

I still have a foul on the defense. Defender moves into the path of an airborne shooter - that's a block. Did I miss something?

No. That's my point. The fouls don't change just because the defender is airborne.
By rule, both fouls are on the defense. You may or may not choose to call the first foul. Many officials don't. But by rule, it's a foul on the defense.
