I wouldn't call a violation either, since the ball really isn't "ready" to be thrown in. If it accidentally touches inbounds during the transition between players, consider it not part of the throw-in and let him retrieve it. Now, once we have an established inbounder, if he fumbles it into the court, he can't touch it.
I agree with the no-call, but for a different reason. The ball was ready for throw-in when B1 was ready to throw it in. Count starts. But I'm not likely to call a violation on B2 for not intentionally throwing the ball in towards the court.

Let's put another wrinkle in this. What if B1 is ready for throw-in, throws it to B2, and B2 misses it. Ball bounces off into the corner. What do we have, and when do we have it?
