How about Situation C? It appears that A6 was "on the floor (and) was participating prior to that when the" violation occurred? Your words in quotes. The only difference here is that the clock is stopped.
C) Team A has six team members participating, which goes unobserved by the officials. Official calls a travel violation on Team A. There are no substitutions after the whistle. Before administering the throw in, officials observe that Team A has six team members participating. The ball is dead, and the clock is stopped. What’s the call?

I have no interest in reading all those scenarios again, just to satisfy your curiosity. It's simple:
6 players come onto the floor. Until the ball is put in play, it's not live and he can leave without penalty.
Once the ball becomes live, the live ball requirement has been satsfied and the team is at risk of a technical foul. It makes no difference how many more time it becomes dead/live before discovered. If either team gets a timeout and get #6 off the floor, then they can avoid the penalty. Otherwise, if it's discovered during the interim, it's a T.
