Clock Start on Holding Penalty?

You mean the clock should have not started on ready for play?

Clock starts on the ready for play, no untimed down.

The part that changed recently was the untimed down provision... used to be that if a penalty was accepted clock ran out before Team A could run another play, they'd get an untimed down... the change was that an untimed down is only awarded if time expires DURING the play where foul was accepted.

The scenario you described is what would've happened BEFORE the rule changed... after the rule changed, there should've been no untimed down.

Clock status is what it was, unless the play ended with a score, out of bounds or incomplete. I was referring to the old untimed down rule.
