Basically, if a team gets scored on, and somehow also receives the ball for a throw-in which would be on the end line, then the team may run.
It's straight out of the Case Book:
7.5.7 SITUATION E: While A1's three-point field-goal attempt is in flight, A3
fouls B1 (B is not in the bonus) near the bottom block area. The three-point field
goal attempt is successful. RULING: Score the three-point goal for A1. Team B
will be permitted to run the end line on the ensuing throw-in. (6-7-7 Exception 2)

Right result, wrong reason. It is not about what is the final action. If they are fouled (personal) after the try is successful but before they complete the throwin, they still get to run the endline (assuming the throwin spot is on the endline).
It is about not losing the right to run the endline as a result of the other team committing an infraction when the subsequent throwin remains on the endline.
