You're standing next to a player wanting to take a throw-in. You still have the ball. A1 incidentally pushes B1 over to get to the corner, while thinking his teammate has the ball to pass it in. You would ignore that while you're still holding the ball, when this would normally be a personal foul during live ball? Would you call it an intentional foul, when it was legitimately an incidental, personal foul during a dead ball?

It's exactly correct. Contact when the ball is dead, that is neither intentional or flagrant is ignored. Now that doesn't mean you can't warn players to knock it off, but by wrong, you've got nothing to call unless it reaches the necessary level.
