Came up in my society's group chat, and found that there's nothing in law accounting for it
At a lineout, the jumper catches the ball off the top. Jumper then dummies a pass; the defensive line buys it and comes up, now offside because the ball hasn't left the lineout.
General consensus is to manage it - make sure the arm stays out indicating the lineout is not over, and giving the defense a chance to get onside.
