I think part of the problem is that there haven't been a lot of defensive violations in the past. The only ones I can think of before this are the kicked ball, and goaltending and BI. Last year they added the elbows thing, but that's still mostly going to be offensive. And there haven't been any violations away from the ball (except the elbows thing now). Since this is basically a new category of infraction, it could appear that previous assumptions are now up in the air. I would expect it to take a year or two for an accepted interp to settle into place.
