Its just one of the CMRs: Commonly Misapplied Rules. I know you know others, like "travel" when player lifts pivot foot, "jump ball" when floor-bound shooter is unable to release a shot because defender has hand on the ball, "travel" when a running player bats the ball a few times but never possesses it, "travel" when a player dribbling the ball falls down, et cetera, et cetera.

4-4-1 An Airborne Shooter is a player who has released the ball on a try for a goal or has tapped the ball and has not returned to the floor.
