The case plays on the subject back up your argument. If the thrower fakes, it's a violation. If someone along the lane fakes, it's penalized if an opponent steps in.
Read the rule as two separate statements. Replace "Nor shall" with "shall not" to adjust for grammer.
"The free thrower shall not fake a try."
"A player in a marked lane space shall not fake to cause an opponent to violate."
I agree with you.
