There is nothing magic about tracking a defender through your primary to a point just outside the lane. The official tracking that player still has a far better idea of how that player got there than someone else, even if he passed an arbitrary line. The whole concept is that the C would be busy with the primary defender and wouldn't usually be able to pick up a secondary defender reliably. Nothing in this play changes that.
