It now simply says if the violation is by the free thrower or a "teammate" both violations are penalized. It contradicts 4a which we know says the second violation is ignored if it occurs in marked lane space....

You are correct that this was an error in the rulebook. Seems it was rectified, however, with this later interpretations release by NFHS:
Rule Book Corrections: Page 56, 2015-16 NFHS Basketball Rules omission: 9-1-3 Penalty 4b should read “If the second violation is by the free thrower or a teammate behind the free-throw line extended and the three-point line, both violations are penalized, as in penalty item (3).
