There was a question about this put on the NFHS board this morning as well. As I was looking at that it seemed to me as well that the spot of enforcement was "trying" to not use all-but-one but I couldn't really be sure that was what they were trying to do. That play had an A player coming onto the field after the ball was snapped and then leaving 40 yards behind the play. If this is an all-but-one enforcement then it is a HUGE penalty, like something and goal from midfield.
I would hope that IP would be enforced from the basic spot and not the spot of the foul but then that leaves an opening for when the IP does affect the play. Like if a team ran 60 guys onto the field during one play and score the touchdown. Only one IP would then be enforced on the try. (Now I know that example falls under "making a travesty" but what if it was only one or two players from the sideline)
I would like to see it enforced as a succeeding spot if the IP did not affect the play and a spot foul of where the play was affected if the IP did affect the play. However it is IP just to come onto the field so he should be flagged there. To know where he affected the play, you'd have to throw another flag at that spot.
