I suppose we'd have had 3 fouls (illegal motion, illegal touching, illegal kick (??? - I'm actually having trouble finding the rule this morning that says you can't scrimmage kick after a completed pass behind the LOS)), all of which would allow a rekick after a 5 yard penalty.
There is no such rule that don't allow the kick. In fact a runner can run beyond the NZ and come back behind the NZ and kick it. Highly unlikely, but the snapper could even snap the ball again to the holder and then have the ball kicked. Rule: 2-15-7. So in your envisioned play, the only fouls you'd have are illegal shift, failure of the substitute to be between the 9 yard marks (7-1-3-a-2), and illegal touching.
