IMO, this is a vestige from (or is it "of?") when the offense could commit goaltending on a FT. When that was removed (becaause entering the lane would make the ball dead and the touching would be ignored), the GT definition could /should have been changed.
On the OP:
If the defense touches the ball, the try doesn't end.
If the offense touches the ball, then I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to the defense and 99.996% of the time ruling that the try ended. Since the OP *specifically says* that the touch was unintentional, then the OP falls in the .004% that's left.
