Does anybody else know whether the FED actually made adult accompaniment mandatory under this new changing-shirt rule- and also where I might find that ruling?

Not specific to this new rule, but this was addressed in last year's POE's. From page 70 of last year's rule book, POE 3A:

The committee is also concerned about bench personnel leaving the bench, sometimes during a live ball. Heading into the hallway to get a drink or sitting up in the stands with friends or family, even for a short period of time, are not authorized reasons unless they are medically related.

This relates to a completely different sort of situation; and I suspect that being directed to change your jersey is an "authorized reason" for leaving the bench area. However, it does emphasize Dan's concern about kids leaving the court unsupervised. FWIW.
