I know many officials agree with that and indeed enforce it that way.

My question is now suppose the runner gets tackled on the one yard line. How do you enforce it then? Is it enforced from the spot of the foul, or, do you follow the revision and enforce from the one yard line?

If you say the latter, the offense gains an advantage because the defense made a spectacular play at the one yard line.

My personal opinion is the foul has no material affect on the play and should be penalized as a dead ball personal; however, with no rule support I must continue to enforce by current rules.
