There may be some rules like that, but IMHO, this is not one of them. The definition is very clear on how team control ends. I don't think that the definition is even close to insane or ridiculous. It might not be 100% in line with what non-referees think it is, but oh well. If you have team control, you continue to have it until you release a try or the other team gains control.
That makes MUCH more sense to me than saying, for example, that there is team control during a throw-in, even though there was never any player control involved.
