However, there is the exception at the end of that section that says the ball does not become dead until after a try or tap ends, or the airborne shooter returns to the floor. (With other caveats as to whether time expires during that period, etc.)
So, your instincts are correct, and now you know where to find the backup in the rules.

What if the foul by B2 on A2 happens after:
the shot is released by A1
the horn sounds
the shooter returns to the floor??
If I'm reading correctly the ball becomes dead in the exception listing when the shooter returns to the floor.
Is the foul on B2 ignored unless it is flagrant or intentional?
