This year's IAABO refresher exam had three questions that were "wrong" according to the original answer sheet. The answer sheet that is now on the IAABO Web site has the "correct" answers.
Interestingly, in each of the questions, the rules citation to support the answer is unchanged. Only the "result" (a Yes or No) changed.
As to the original query: my IAABO board interpreter has given us the same ruling. I too disagree with it. But...what I have not been told is that the player may not enter the game AT ALL. While I disagree with the interpretation of "team member" as being in uniform and at the site at the 10-minute mark, I completely disagree that a player who arrives late may not enter the game under any circumstances -- not even at the cost of a technical foul. The original post said the referee would not allow the player to enter the game at all. This is not supported by any rule that I can find.
