To the glove, into the air, back to the glove. It wasn't caught cleanly. So a batted ball that goes from the bat back to the catcher who then juggles it (i.e goes from hand to glove and back several times) is a foul tip?

Has anyone else been told the same thing, that a foul tip must be caught cleanly?

No, and by the definition of a foul tip it just states that a foul tip
is a batted ball that goes sharply and directly from the bat to the catcher's
mitt or hand and is legally caught by the catcher. Then go to Rule 2
Section 10 Art 2....
