My view on it says the hold started in the EZ.
Regardless, it seems to me that the attempt at a foward pass was nothing more than an attempt to save loss of yardage (or in this case, a safety). If not, why wasn't this considered a sack as the "passer" was nearly on the ground when he attempted to flip it forward. Isn't this what they call "in the grasp"?
One last comment, even if it is legal (NFL rules) to do this outside the tackle area, I think the pass has to land beyond the NZ. It was close, but I think it was short of that point.
