The best way to look at this type of play is that it is just like a penalty. We have all seen times when the D-line jumps offside, then the QB goes deep, knowing that the worst case scenario is they can accept the 5-yard penalty and play the down over.
As SOON as the punting team touches the ball, there can be no worse an outcome than placing the ball where the initial contact occurred. The receiving team can do anything they want (just like the example above) without any negative consequences.
