I'd explain it by saying that the initial dribble started when A1 initiated contact of an unheld ball with the floor. After A1 again held the ball the initial dribble was ended. Then A1 initiated a second dribble. 
I think the play is very similar to recovering a ball while on the floor, setting the ball down, getting up, then picking up the ball ("Walk"). Thus a "walk" could be called, but that seems more difficult to explain.
I'm not convinced this is an "interrupted dribble" because the ball did not inadvertantly escape control by A1. This is an intentional act and unless a defender touches the ball, I think it is still within player control.
I also expect to learn a couple of things on this one....

Richard,
I'm with you.
I see the play no different than:
Player, who still has a dribble, releases a ball with a pass over a defender's head, then runs around the defender and catches the ball after it hit the floor, and then starts another dribble.
The only variation we have is the
precise movement of the ball.
