I think MJT has a pretty good argument (regarding the opposing coach), but I don't think this makes an intentional PI into a USC.
While the signal may be the same, I can't find anything in 7-5 to indicate that this is treated as a USC penalty. I realize that, under normal circumstances, you can only enforce one live-ball penalty by a team, but I would read the intentional PI rule as an exception, not as requiring the second 15 yards to be charged as a USC.
