The point of that particular element of the rule is to prevent A1 passing to A2 after A2 returns inbounds.

Gotta agree with you but that's not what the rule states.

This certainly would be illegal.

9-3-3: Establishes that a player may step out of bounds without penalty unless they are the first player to touch the ball after returning to the court ...

I've got lot of questions regarding the wording of this new rule.

Hopefully some new casebook plays (I haven't gotten my new casebook yet), or new annual interpretations (due soon) will clear this up.
