I have to disagree that "any contact [with the elbow in this situation] is still a foul."
It is very likely that I would rule it incidental contact and not call a foul, if the player chinning the ball was merely pivoting.
You are, of course, right that this play was not affected at all by the recent rule change. Only the non-contact play (excessive swinging of the elbows) was changed from a T to a violation.
