If the ball touches the court after the pass, then A1 touches it - Illegal Dribble.
If the ball does not touch the court after the pass, then A1 touches it - Traveling.

Not to be horsey, but it is an illegal dribble for both situations. There is only one way to travel without the ball. You are correct, either way it is a violation.
