After replying the first time, I happened to catch casebook 10.4.3C. In particular, the last sentence of the comment is telling:

Momentum does not apply here, since the ball isn't dead behind the goal line. Therefore, enforce this foul from the goal line.
Note this is
very different from the ruling where the interception takes place in the end zone - there the NFHS (with no rules support) wants the foul enforced from the 20, according to 10.4.5G.
