To say coach must announce DH substitution at the time of the pitching substitution doesn't follow the logical flow of the DH rule.

Without looking at a book my first instinct is that if a player is listed as P/DH, and is substituted for on defense, he remains as DH. (We go from 9 man line up to 10 man lineup.) Now the next time this spot in the batting order comes up, if the current (substitute) pitcher comes up, I make him the new DH (back to a 9 man line up).
The reason I don't think its necessary to make the distinction at the first substitution is that a team can switch between 9 and 10 man line ups. Another thought that enters my mind is the fact that projected substitutions are not allowed. Quite interesting...
