Thus penalizing the offense as if the penalty happened in th middle of the field.

I was about post on the same rule. My thought was make it that if the ofense is backed up against the the goal line and would get half the distance from the goal then if the defense committed a penalty in the same area it would be half the distance from the goal. I like your idea more.
