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?
First of all, please read the definition of incidental contact. It's impossible to have an incidental personal foul. It's either incidental or a foul; not both.

Secondly, yes, I'd ignore it because that's what the rule says. As JR pointed out, there's also no advantage gained, so there's no foul. What I said was, as has been pointed out, virtually word for word from the rule.
