Certainly seems like some kind of violation but "an illegal start of a dribble."? Same as double dribble in anybody's opinion? Wording seems tricky to me.

Official is basically correct. It is not a double dribble. It is a violation even if A1 had not previously dribbled. As Lotto said...traveling.
