JAR's reference deals with a throw-in situation, and a foul by the non-throw-in team.

Case Book 6.7 Sit B deals with a free throw by A1 that was successful, a foul by A2, after the shot was in the air, and states, ". . . in which case B will throw-in from out of bounds anywhere along the endline where the free throw was scored."

So, the exception is meant to avoid an unintended penalty - spot throw-in rather than an full endline throw-in - to the offended team, and is understood to be the procedure for a field goal, and a free throw.
