The intentional foul is meant to be called when someone is fouled that is
  • not trying to get open for the inbounds pass
  • not trying to set a screen to get someone else open for the inbounds pass
That is exactly what the posted situation says.

At last, the voice of reason. Perhaps the sentence could have read: If a foul is committed against a player who is not involved in the play in some way, such as setting a screen or moving to try to receive a pass, it must be ruled intentional. In other words, don't grab and hold a player who is just standing there on the opposite end of the court without expecting the intentional foul to be called.
Would that not have been clearer?
