In the OP, the ball was touched prior to the dribble ending. 4-15-4
Did A2's touching change the A1's interrupted dribble, into a fumble? As it was not a momentary loss of control (4-15-5)? If it is ruled a fumble, then the dribble has ended and 9-5-3 applies.
Or when A2 touches the ball, can that be considered a pass? Thus 9-5-3 allows a second dribble.

Only if it touches another player after the fumble.
The play in the OP is an interrupted dribble. When it touches A2, it becomes a pass. A1 lost control of a ball in the form of a pass that touched another player (9-5-3...the first part rather than the 2nd part that everyone is talking about). A1 is no longer limited and can start a new dribble.
