What seems interesting is that the same doesn't seem to prevail for a throw in after a made our awarded basket where there is no designated spot.

It all depends on whether that is really meant to stop at the boundary line, or was meant just for lateral movement.
One interp says, " he or she may move laterally if at least one foot is kept on or over the designated area. " so that could be read as the later. But, the same interp says "jump vertically" so that could be read as NOT allowing a jump over the court.
It has been discussed here in the past, and I thought there was a defining case or interp, but I can't find it.
