They might be different, but they're not distinct. It's the same one second: all shifts must end with a 1 second pause, regardless of what happens next.
At that point, the ball may be legally snapped, or a player may go in motion (and the ball legally snapped). IOW, one is a sub-case of the other.
I'm not blind to the difference; I just don't see any conflict.
