I think the key here is intent. Technically, what he's doing is legal on the throw-in because there's no rule against it (considering this carrying the ball onto the court is a huge stretch of logic, IMO), but the committee basically came down on the side of not allowing a thrower to take advantage of the rule.
Remember, if the defender initiates this contact, it's an intentional foul.
