Aftre digging in the rule book, I was unable to find a solid rule to back his up, but the things I have found seem to indcate that dead ball PF and USC are basically treated the same.

I should have had a little bit more confidence in my own recollection.
Rule 8-2-2: "If during a touchdown-scoring play..."

Nothing to do with personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct being the same. The personal foul happened after the play, not during it. Must be enforced on the try.
