Is this an intermission? Nope.
Are "bench personnel" also "players"? Nope, rule 4-34-2 separately defines bench personnel.
Ergo, bench personnel sits and players must stand during a 30-second TO.

I guess I don't understand your answer or reasoning because as I read it, 10-4-4c clearly allows bench personnel to stand during a charged time out.
Bench personnel shall not:
ART. 4 . . . Stand in the team bench area while the clock is running or is stopped, and must remain seated, except:
c. During a charged time-out, as in 5-12-5, or the intermission between quarters and extra periods.
