I believe, up until this past season, it was only an intentional if the defender reached through the throw-in plane and fouled the thrower. Now, it doesn't matter where the contact occurs in relation to the plane.
So, A1 reaches the ball across. It's now perfectly legal for B1 to swipe the ball, but if he misses and hits A1's forearm, it's an automatic intentional foul. Stupid rule that I hope only lasts a season or so.
