Legal.
A1 caught it with neither foot on the floor at a time when A didn't have team control. A1 had a normal landing with one foot in the frontcourt and one in the backcourt. Not sure what the case number is but this is explicited listed as not a backcourt violation.

Don't the 'exceptions' only apply to a STEAL and an INBOUNDS pass?

You may be right. However, it doesn't refer to it as a steal. It refers to it with regards to a defensive player. The question is whether the team that doesn't have control is on defense...or is anyone on defense? It would seem to have the intent of applying to situations where the team is gaining control.

The origin of the exception was, in part anyway, to reward a good defensive play - thus a 'steal'. 9-9-3 says, in effect, the 'exception' for a normal landing from the front court into the backcourt applies to "defensive player or during a jump ball or throw-in."
