I believe you rule interpretation to be correct. He must either be in motion 5 yards behind the LOS or reset as a back.

In lower level games, I usually inform the coach of the rule and they do, at least, make the player go in motion behind the linemen. I think this is one of those often ignored rules and honestly, don't see the need for it.
