If you made me guess, I believe the rules committee wants the case play to have priority and that 5-2-1 is simply poorly written.
However, as written, the scenario in the original post of this thread is scored as three points.

I've always taken that comment to be the intent of the rule change - to take the official's judgement out of these types of plays. Whether there is a try or not is irrelevant because the new rule includes a pass from outside the 3-point arc as something that can score three points.
I definately agree that there's a conflict. Maybe this will be addressed by the time we get our 2011-2012 rulebooks.
