If the ball is about to become live, the beckoning signal should be withheld."

Agreed, but in a situation where both teams came out at 40 seconds, the timer decided to skip the horn, and just before you're ready to hand the ball the thrower a sub shows up at the table?

Right, and if I have sounded my whistle...to my way of thinking I have completed the final thing that must be done before the ball can be put in play. IOW, the ball is about to become live, and I should withhold the beckon.
