Is (b) referring to the original boundary line or the temporary line. It seems, in context, to be referring to the original lines.
Inconsistent at best.

This play doesn't involve a restraining line that is actually on the floor. It is just a regular sideline. If there isn't much room we can move back the defender. Tell him get back two feet.
If there was actually a visible restraining line that is when the rule you cite comes in to play. The offense would not be allowed to catch within the restraining line. it is the boundary for all until ball crosses it.
