I saw this mechanic change as well in the Sportorials that I just got from IAABO. I don't think it is actually in the FED manual yet, but they are recommending it in three-whistle. Personally, I don't like it. At the two college camps I went to most recently, we were told not to do it.

For me, it doesn't make sense to have the lead watching the inbounder when he will probably have a post match-up right in front of him. Plus, it is easier for the trail to hand or bounce the ball to the inbounder and then back away, than it is for the lead to bounce the ball across the corner.
