I guess the entire ball has to be out, including the 'fat' part of the ball, not just the part of the ball in contact with the grass.
Obviously the entire contact patch is OOB, but the contact patch isn't the entire ball - high angle views of the ball show that the fat part is still in contact with the white line if the line were to be drawn vertically up into the sky (as the rule is technically written).
Amazingly, I think they might have gotten that one right.
