Are you sure? The note to the exceptions to 6-7 is below:
NOTE: If A1's try or tap is legally touched in flight, the goal counts if made, if the horn sounds before or after the legal touching. If the touching is interference or goaltending by A, no points are scored. If B violates, the points are awarded - either two or three depending on whether it was a two or three-point try or tap
The way I read that is if the defender (A3 in this case) goaltends, the points are awarded. Seems the ball would be live until the try was completed. If a foul had been committed on the airborne shooter the goal would have counted.
Obviously I could be wrong. There was a discussion on this somewhere but I can't find it.
