So all this means is that there is no exception that applies if the person shooting that "dead" free throw is going to be the same as the one who shoots the "live" free throws after.

Indeed, in many situations you might not know that it was going to be the same shooter.

All that said, if you had the players on the line for that free throw, and that was the worst mistake you made in the game, you'd have a damned good game . . .

+1. Anytime the ball is to become dead after a final (or single) FT for a particular foul, the lane is cleared. We'd need a written exception for this case. It would certainly be a logical exception, but it's probably not something that the rules committee would waste time on unless these type of scenarios started occurring with noticeably greater frequency.
