I'm replaying and freezing with my play-cursor at about 5.75 seconds and the ball is still in the shooter's hand and the knee to the jaw/chest has just happened and the defender is already moving backward from the contact.

Is he moving laterally while the player was in the air?

Hmm, don't think you're quite right on that one. Observe the point of contact:





The guy basically takes a knee to the face, which is why he's down for the count after the dunk.

Full speed, I think the defender is late.

So I have no problem with a no-call - seems cruel on this specific play for the guy to get plowed in the face, get dunked on, AND take the foul

Nothing in the rule says that getting hit in the face is an automatic foul. Just like it would not be with an elbow if a player is legally doing what they are allowed to do. So getting hit in the face is not a good reason to simply call a foul.
