Of course it has no real bearing on our discussion because in our play we have a plausible way to continue the game. It simply resumes with 5 v 4.

The bottom line is that the substitute is NOT eligible to return at that time and 3.3.3 Situation B confirms this. MTD just continues to ignore this fact.
Nothing you've cited states that the player is ineligible. The injured player/timeout situation above doesn't have an alternative player that could be considered available. The illegally returning player citation doesn't have the problem of fewer than 5 players. Again, they're close, but not close enough.
