Interrupted dribble and OOB

Is there a rule or case play indicating this is illegal? Since no one came up this one that did not include OOB violation, which 6d says is excluded, I chalk this up to a minor error in the rules.

6d does not say a player with OOB status can touch the ball. The exception refers to a player leaving court who is not in contact with the ball.

A little off topic, but just a reminder:

There is no three-second count between the release of a shot and the control of a rebound, at which time a new count starts. There is no three-second count during a throwin. There is no three-second count while the ball is in the backcourt. There is a three-second count during an interrupted dribble.
