By rule, isn't fouling a thrower-in a technical foul, not an intentional foul?

No, still IF, but touching the ball on the OOB side of the plane IS deemed a T.

"The clock won't start, Coach, but by rule it will be an intentional foul".

No different from telling the inbounder "spot" or "you can run".
