I am not sure if that was the way it was or that was the way some were interpreting it to be.

The way I remember it, it must have been quietly changed because the rule said as much, then they quietly changed it back to where it is now.

That was the way it was. Back then, the situation was treated the same as if the throwin ball hit an out of bounds wall (untouched by anybody inbounds). It was a casebook play interpretation. There was no distinction between a player out of bounds, and an object out of bounds, for this specific situation.
