Well, my rulebooks are currently packed away, but I can tell you the reasoning for this is that once a player achieves frontcourt status, he maintains that until he touches the backcourt. While in the air, he's in the frontcourt, and once he touches down, he's then in the backcourt - same as carrying it back if dribbling.
