Good find.
That is, indeed, a good catch. It does beg the question, though: Why is it OK to swap and then get permission, but not get permission then swap?

Personally, I don't see any meaningful distinction between the two. Yet we're supposed to consider one as good, and the other bad? 
What I took away from Tom's post is that if there's no IR violation, it's better to let a few people get away with it than to aggressively pursue possible infractions. Players should police themselves, and the rule should rarely (if ever) require enforcement, except in cases where the abuse is so patent and unambiguous as to preclude any discussion. Since there is room for discussion in this case, the defendant should get the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully the spirit of fairplay is something that all players will take to heart.
