This is a topic that comes up pretty reguarly in pre-game. In your example, I believe the officials mannual would have the lead move up and assume the new trail position as it is too far up the line for the lead to administer the bounce pass from the end line. Then the trail drops down and becomes lead.
Now, in pre-game, this may be discussed. I often bring this up. What we typically settle on is eye contact with my partner and, depending on what seems to be the most fluid and fastest way to get the ball back into play is what we opt to do. Similar to an out of bounds call in front of the table that is going the opposite way. Sometimes the trail official is right on top of the play and is surronded by players. In this case, I often as lead, swing out and sprint down to force a switch (instead of a bump) and let the trail stay as trail and inbound the ball. Just works smoother most of the time.
