Nope. That's an illegal dribble that has recently been unceremoniously changed to a travel. The key to the play in the OP is the fact that the player traveled and thus ended player control.

Then, it's a travel. What it used to be is irrelevant.

No, it's not irrelevant. It's a violation because it's a dribble that fails to hit the floor between consecutive touches by the hands of the player in control.

But we're diverging from the point. The point is, without the fumble, the same rules don't apply.
