I wouldn't go by that. Situations are sometimes retained in case books well after rules changes make them impossible.
However, a situation in which illegal participation as a result of dead ball substitution could occur even with clairvoyant officials would be if the 12th player was heading toward the team bench area, then the ball was put in play and that player changed his mind and decided to participate that down.
