I could be wrong, but I think the case indicates that the call is supposed to be made. The rule is supposed to apply equally to offensive and defensive players, and is supposed to be applied immediately.

In real life, it's not going to get called very much, as Jurassic pointed out. But by the book, you're supposed to call it right away and give the ball back to the offense whether the try was successful or not.
