What you really want to know is if this is a simultaneous violation by each team. No, it is not.
Case book 9.1.4 B Comment: If a Team B player uses verbal tactics like "you're in my space" or a time-out request to fake an opponent into violations, only the fake is penalized.
Since you wrote that the offensive player moved as a result of something the defensive player did, this should be handled as a fake which caused the other team to violate. Only the fake is penalized. This part of the rule was the same last year too! It will just likely be called correctly more this year with the rule change, even though the first violation in this case did not occur in a marked lane space and technically isn't part of the new change.
