I'm guessing at the NFHS thought process (such as it is), but I would venture we have to take a WAG.

You're correct: "The point of the PSK EXCEPTION is to GIVE R possession" but only if certain criteria are met. And one of those criteria is the "K will not be next to put the ball in play." Since there was an IW during a legal kick, who will next put the ball in play?

Again, I'm guessing at the NFHS thought process, K gets a choice. Enforce the penalty as per PSK, or decline the penalty and get a do over on the down.
Aaaah, it would be nice if they could at least attempt to take the guess work out of rule enforcement, huh?
