Are you sure the key has it as true. This exact question was #18 on the Part 1 test last year and I answered it false and got it correct.
Furthermore, I don't believe a person is reading too much into this by answering it false. There's a big difference between "during the down" and "end of the kick". For example, R88 is blocking gunner K87 when the punter kicks a high short punt to the sideline. Seeing this, R88 releases K87 and calls for a fair catch. Perfectly legal and the person who gave the FC signal blocked "during the down".
