You are correct that it is a double foul, but it is only because the officials didn't follow proper mechanics and this is the only way the Fed has for cleaning it up. If the two officials get together and can't agree on what the correct call is, we are told to go with a double foul. Had one of the officials yielded to the other, there would be no need for a double foul because there would be no blarge.
