My interpretation is that spotting the ball is the end of the preceeding play not the beginning of the succeeding play, therefore in the case listed, the error occurs during 3rd down. As soon as the ball is made live for 4th down, this error becomes uncorrectable.
Just like the case book says. As a rookie, who am I to question the case book?

Couple of keys to watch is the down ends when the play is over. The next down does not start until it is legal snaped or free kicked. Keep reading and re-reading. This is also a great place to test your knowledge!
