Keep in mind that I'm not a lawyer, but I just don't see it happening.
This attorney agrees with both of your points. I'll also add that I cannot imagine any LEO filing trespass charges under the OP's hypothetical, nor can I imagine a DA accepting charges.

Chas.
I would also think that a good lawyer could find/craft an "emergency" exception to the law. If a LEO gets a waiver on 4th amendment requirements to protect an individual, I think you could find an exception to 30.06.
