I am not suggesting or arguing that either of these should not be a TD or TB (as appropriate) yet the NFHS language should be more specific in clarifying this.

I don't see the problem. The entirety of the pylon is behind the goal line and out of bounds. If that's not a problem for the white lines, why's it a problem for the orange post? "[P]laced at the inside corner of each of the intersections of the sidelines with the goal lines and the end lines...." How else could you see it?
When flags were used,
that could sometimes be a problem.
