IMO it is not incidental because the path the defender took to get the block results in him going into an air born shooter. Without being able to take the path, that leads to the contact post block, I don't feel he can block it.
I also feel like contact after a block should be a foul as the thought of knowing you are susceptible to contact after you release the shot does make it more difficult to focus on your shot.
