I think this is a situation for which the rules are unprepared, as I'm pretty sure the gurus on the committee would prefer to see a T called for this action (even if you don't call it for hanging due to the player underneath).
Maybe it could be remedied by revising the denfitions so that a player is no longer an airborne shooter once he does a chin-up on the rim.

I think it's pretty obvious that this wasn't what the airborne exception was meant for, and if I'm going to make a call here it's going to be a technical foul for an unsporting act.
