Doesn't apply to every airborne shooter, in fact, it doesn't apply to most situations where the ball would be dead anyway for a foul on an airborne shooter.
The exception reads:
Quote:
The ball does not become dead until the try or tap ends, or until the airborne shooter returns to the floor, when:
a. Article 5, 6, or 7 occurs while a try or tap for a field goal is in flight.
b. Article 5 or 7 occurs while a try for a free throw is in flight
c. Article 7 occurs by any opponent of a player who has started a try or tap for goal (is in the act of shooting) before the foul occurred....
d. Article 9 (a violation) occurs by an opponent

So, if A1 dunks the ball and is fouled on his way down, this is a dead ball foul, but not a technical foul.
If A1 dunks the ball and B1 pushes A2 out of frustration with a screen while A1 is on his way down, this would be a dead ball contact technical foul on B1.
Otherwise, the note in 4-19-1 isn't necessary:

Contact after the ball has become dead is incidental unless it is ruled intentional or flagrant or committed by or on an airborne shooter.
