I would encourage you to consult the definition of a "try." The rules are more reliable than your gut.
I agree that by rule the ball becomes dead when he catches the "self-pass" (scare quotes to indicate that by definition there's no such thing).
I also agree that at this level counting the bucket is the expected call, and that as a game management decision this worked out well.
I wonder what happened when the play was reviewed with the supervisor.
