I think I see where cmatthews is confused. True, the illegal kick is treated as a fumble, when it is the only kick during the down. In this case, however, the original kick never ended. Remember, a kick does not end until possession is gained or it is dead by rule. Therefore, the original legal kick went into the endzone. The fact that it was illegally kicked prior to going into the endzone has no significance other than the fact that it is a foul. Hope this helps.
