Mregor, A couple of things you stated aren't precisely right.

Unless this player's team takes a time-out which will allow him to remain in the game. Also, if no substitutes are available, any teammate may shoot the free throws.

Your terminology is causing confusion here. The NFHS rule is that once a player leaves the game he must wait until the next opportunity to substitute after the clock has properly started before he can re-enter.
If A1 is fouled, but injured and is replaced by A6 and A6 shoots the free throws, A6 may be removed from the game immediately after the last free throw, if it is successful. There is no requirement that the substitute shooter, A6, must wait for the clock to start before leaving the game. The restriction is only on re-entering, not on exiting.
PS
I am told that the NBA rule is the opposite of the high school/ NCAA rule. In the NBA a player once in the game must play for a tick of the clock.
