First and foremost I,m not carrying on about this for anything but pure officials fun.
You are correct that this is a special case because 2 years ago a change was made in the rules so the throw-in team doesn't get penalized if the defense commits a violation or foul.
While referring to rule 7-5-7 you included " a foul or violation occuring before the throw-in ends." The rule clearly doesn't state that.
Also, there is nothing in the case book about this specific rule. The closest the case book gets to this is a case on a kicked ball. No one argues that a kicked ball is a violation. Causing the ball to go out of bounds is also a violation.
I think the rule needs to be rewritten.
