They do! That's exactly what Rules 7-5-2 and 7-5-5 say!
Rule 7-5-7 refers to one very specific situation only(i.e. a foul or violation occuring before the throw-in ends,and also occuring in a spot that would bring the throw-in back to the end line)that would negate R7-5-2&5 .It is like some of the other rules in the book that aren't written that clearly.Further explanation is usually put in the case book,which happens to be true in this case.There is nothing in the rule or casebook that will otherwise negate the rules quoted above,or back up the scenario that you are trying to propose.
Please talk to your local rules interpreter before you get carried away on this one.Semantics are fine,and can be fun to argue-but they can get you in real deep doo-doo if you try to take them too far.
