How about the opposite? A1 passes to A2 who jumps from OOB, catches ball in air, lands with both feet on the court. Violation?

If I'm reading your scenarios correctly, it appears this would be a violation in both instances. In your first scenario, the player retains "in-bound" status until he is OOB. He catches the ball in the air as an in-bounds player, ending the throw-in. He then lands OOB, which is a violation.
In your second scenario, the player is OOB when he catches the ball, which doesn't end the throw-in. However, he lands in-bounds, which is a violation during the throw-in.
